+          Multiply the Tab Offset value with 2.5 and add the resulting value to an existing position cue setting value of a cue to achieve the correct offset.

+          For example, for an existing cue position setting of 20% (column 5), a Tab Offset of 3 will create a cue position setting of 27.5%.
