How To: Edit Instrument Positions on Stage

We’re very proud to be able to offer you complete control over the positions of instruments on stage. You can choose exactly where you want your instruments to be on stage and the type of venue they perform in.

With the interface described below, you can create an iconic diagram of your stage. Please note that the icons and stage dimensions are not to scale, and should be used to indicate relative placements.

5b. To add a new instrument to the stage, click on the “Add a” drop-down menu and select the desired instrument, then click on the “>” button to its right.

Most of the options are individual instruments, but there are also options for instrumental sections (for example, a 14 violin section represented as one icon, rather than 14 separate icons). Individual instruments have a medium-sized icon; sections have a large-sized icon.
