Thanks for the input. If the issue ever comes up again, I will try and reason with her as suggested, but for now, I will stick with cues and learning new things unless she says otherwise. Though, an example today of how cues would have been nice, had we the time. In class, we had to create...

basically, the board somehow records two signals into one dimmer and it can overload that one dimmer. Something like if you record a cue using both subs and dimmers at the same time or something. Not quite sure if this is possible and what it would do.
