A music editor (S4, S5) checks that fixed elements sit at the right timecode in a Pro Tools template and records cues in an order driven by player count under a three-hour union minimum. A studio conductor (S9, S11) decides free-click counts (four below 85 bpm, eight above), asks for eighth-note clicks at slow tempos with motor rhythms, marks tempo changes as relative bpm and treats the printed tempo as a guide because the Pro Tools tempo map and timecode are the official references. An orchestrator (S10) lists composer deliverables as MIDI file, full mix and stems, and sends back a new tempo map if tempos are retimed.
