This is a sample of the PowerPoint file run during the Overture for Gordon College’s 2014 Mikado production. It’s designed to be timed with the live performance, so an operator clicks the PageDown key in synch with the score. You can see how it works simply by running the slideshow (F5) from the beginning and systematically clicking through the slides.
