The Settings dialog box (choose Tools > Settings) offers lots of ways to customize and fine-tune v3. While most of the Settings controls and options are documented in the Help feature, a few have been added since v3’s initial release, and don’t appear in the documentation:

Open cues into cue properties box before inserting: When checked, this option on the Control tab causes the program to open a new cue into the cue properties box so you can adjust its properties before inserting it. In other words, it behaves like v2. When this option is unchecked (the default setting), a cue gets inserted immediately. (Exceptions: Text and Script Control cues always open into the cue properties box when they’re inserted, regardless of this setting.)

Show content tooltips in the Pages listboxes: Another option on the Control tab. When checked, placing the mouse pointer over a page name in Lyra’s, Bob’s or Ted’s Pages listbox brings up a tooltip showing you the words contained on that page. This is especially handy when the font size and background in Lyra’s or Bob’s preview box make it hard to read the text there.

ShoutMonitor Click-to-fire feature: Yet another option on the Control tab. By default, if you click the thumbnail of a cue depicted in a ShoutMonitor, the program fires that cue to the audience. For example, if you have a ShoutMoniitor set to Next, clicking its image will fire the next Script cue. On the Control tab, this Click-to-fire setting is called Single click. If you change it to Double click, only a double-click will fire a cue in a ShoutMonitor. And if the whole idea of firing cues from ShoutMonitors frightens you, choose Disable.
