Lightwright Touch provides mobile viewing and editing of Lightwright® 5 or 6 lighting equipment data. If you use Lightwright, or schedules and hookups printed from Lightwright, this is the portable, navigable, editable worksheet tool you have been waiting for. +Export your show from Lightwright and sync to Lightwright Touch through iTunes, or email, or file sharing +View and Sort your worksheet using familiar Lightwright functions +Columns can be added, removed, and rearranged to best suit your mobile needs +"Log" feature speeds selection of prior view/sort displays +Edit worksheet data quickly with item pick-lists +Add a note to any worksheet row, or to a general notes page +Store multiple shows on Lightwright Touch +Transfer shows back to Lightwright for reconciliation with the original show file +View and email notes or your changes +Supports any device orientation, and multiple font sizes Please note that Lightwright Touch does not do everything that Lightwright does. (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.
