This is quite interesting, but I think an overkill for a playout screen as it makes it look very busy (although WinRadio achieves it rather well tbh despite its other failings).
I'm also not sure if the waveform would help a lot of presenters (Our presenters are all volunteers for a community station, so they need very simple+clear guides). I think a lot of them would not understand the waveform, but a timer that says: Intro counter: 0:10 seconds 9 seconds 8 seconds, etc. Then at the end of the song Extro counter: 0:10 seconds 9 seconds, etc. would be easy to follow. I'm going to experiment with my first thoughts, using Segue at the start and Talk at the end and see if it looks ok to understand.
