(The fact that it costs 1/10 as much might have been be a clue.) This version does not support focus charts and worknotes. Also you cannot start a new show on Lightwright Touch. It's great for viewing existing shows and doing minor editing on the fly, but heavy-duty worksheet management is better left to Lightwright at this time. Lightwright Touch is an accessory to Lightwright, not a replacement for it. Works with files exported from Lightwright 5.0.22 or later, and Lightwright 6.0.13 or later.
