Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: Visual Cues--Who's Responsible?

I've had the opposite side of the problem where my board op and followspot ops were taking the q before I called it. I ended up talking to them about it and affirming my position that, unless I asked them to take the q on their own from the start of the run, to go on my q regardless of if it was a moment later or a moment earlier than they thought it should go. Ultimately the stage manager is the one with the script/score and so are the only ones that know exactly what's going on then and what's coming up.
As difficult and irritating as it may be it needs to be addressed quickly even if it's a "I will go whenever you tell me to and not a moment before or after" so that it's stated and on the record.
