Sources agree that an all-night Surakarta-style performance is divided into three pathet (nem, sanga, manyura) played in that order, each built from a palace court scene (jejer), further scenes (adegan) and typically a battle (perang), and that the dalang (puppeteer-narrator-singer) controls the sequence with sung suluk, narration and music cues. Times differ: one article gives 9 pm-12, 12-3, 3-5; an outreach handout gives 9 pm to about 6 am. A common outline: pathet nem sets up characters and the problem, pathet sanga holds the hero's withdrawal and, optionally, clown scenes, pathet manyura brings battles and resolution. Scene-level sequences in published lists differ by source and style.
