Usage
Prompter may be considered a special type of Conductor, influencing the timing of music. For Prompters, the course of action is chosen by other participants or is otherwise established by the rules (including chosen at random). Signals might be given in different ways, for example by Cue cards.
Prompter role is often used in games of John Zorn for example is his Cobra. There, each Player may propose an idea for musical development and Prompter's role is to:
1) choose between the propositions if there are conflicting ones,
2) announce the choice to the whole ensemble, and then
3) signal the timing (downbeat).
