Ceder Square Dance System BB

I used my laptop and CSDS while calling at the Denver Nationals last month. Some of the tips were as short as 9 minutes.

I was thinking that a "festival" mode for the tip timer might be nice.
Assuming my laptop clock is synchronized with the hall/MCs (or that I know the difference), I'd like to have it count down to (and flash at) some specific time e.g. 10:24:30. Rather than say "I have a 9 minute tip" think of it as "I need to be off the stage at this time".

Another possibility (which would cover multi-tip slots or whole dances that need to end at a specific time) would be an overall "dance timer" (in addition to the tip and break timers). It'd start flashing (or something) at XXX before a set time (e.g., 9pm, etc.) this would work for single tips as above, but also for whole evenings or 50 minute slots.

reactions?
