Script Cue

The Script Cue allows you to run any AppleScript in a cue.
Note that AppleScripts can only be safely run on the main thread, so QLab must pause to completely run the script before it can continue processing anything in the main thread. This means that if your script takes a long time, QLab will not redraw the workspace or perform other updates on the main thread until the script is complete.
You'll find a handy list of QLab scripts and macros on the Figure 53 wiki: http://wiki.figure53.com/QLab+Scripts+and+Macros
A Pro Audio, Pro Video, or Pro MIDI license is required to reactivate Script cues that have been saved to disk.
Script Cue Subtopics:

AppleScript

You can enter any AppleScript into the text field of the AppleScript panel. If QLab is able to successfully compile the script the text will be displayed with colored script syntax, and the script status will display "Successfully compiled". If QLab is not able to compile the script, the script will appear in all-black font, and the error will appear in the script status field.
