I had improved this by creating a Flash based autocue program that could load the lyrics from a separate text file. Since then I’ve now stopped development of the flash based autocue instead working on a autocue […]

As I’ve already mentioned I’m creating a Autocue Program for Linux using Perl/Tk. I’ve made a start on this, and the initial development (with very limited functionality) was well received at the last rehearsal.
