	~~The~~ timeline ~~panel is~~ your ~~main work space for working with~~ cue ~~timings~~, audio ~~synchronization and midi show control~~.		All lighting cues in Lightforge are created on a timeline, this allows you to easily, and visually adjust your cue timing, fades, and effects. With Lightforge you can also add an audio track to easily write cues that are synchronized to music, or live bands using click tracks. This allows you to create cuelists at an unprecedented speed. You can also see how your various effects are tracking through your cuelist.

	By default, cues in Lightforge function in a tracking system. What this means is that for each cue you create the only thing that is being saved is the changes since your last cue. In short, if you turn a light on, it stays on until you tell it to turn off in a later cue. It's important to understand this because there are various positive and potentially negative ramifications to this approach.		By default, cues in Lightforge function in a '''tracking system'''.
