On exceptionally wide mixes it is typical for edited tracks to be combined into Pre-Dubs (or Pre-Mixes). This makes the final mix easier to manage. The new Pre-Dub Remapping feature allows you to identify audio (tag your cues) in the regions of your original session, so a cue sheet can be printed out that reflects the layout of your new Pre-Dub Master.
All elements mixed into the same track/time code are displayed (or hidden if you choose) as composite cues on the Pre- Dub cue sheet.
Each cue on the Pre-Dub cue sheet references back to the track of origin in the original session.
About This Software:
The Cue Sheet System reads the contents of a Pro Tools Session file ...then from that information, it will:
create a list in the Tape™ application (seen below in -- Figure 1) and ultimately the dubbing log printout (or "cue sheet") (seen below in -- Figure 4)
Tape is designed to read a session AS-IS while inclusively searching for descriptive information placed in the session's region names. This descriptive information (See : Tagging Language) allows you to customize the look of your cue sheets while working exclusively inside Pro Tools.
Picture Changes are handled by simply making the changes to your session and re-printing.
Error detection helps you catch tagging mistakes by color coding your tagged audio sequences.

Automatic joining of "contiguous regions" to create a "single cue sheet element".

A dynamic and adjustable time spacing algorithm.
Print groups of cues that are close in time proximity on the same cue sheet line.

Optionally suppress the Tagging Language so the session will print literally AS-IS.
Leonardo Tagging Language is optionally supported.
Merge multiple sessions into a single time aligned printout (up to 99 tracks wide)
Designate stereo pairs to print as a single track.
Tagging is not mandatory. If a "custom tag" cannot be found for any sequence of regions in a session, the region name of the first region in that sequence is used in identify that cue. This makes it unnecessary to tag backgrounds (or any cue that has been edited from a pre-named library element).
To print a cue sheet after you've tagged your session:
Drag and drop your Session Wheel into the TAPE™ application icon.
Answer a few questions in the import dialogue
Set your client name and show information
Set your print qualities,
