Here's a very typical stage plot I might receive. At first glance, it seems to have all the information needed, but on closer inspection, it's not as clear as it should be.

Also, monitors numbered in the wrong order. That may vary due to personal preference, but my preference is left to right from audience perspective.

With a side stage monitor engineer (who is the one mixing them), it's not unusual to to label stage left to right.

My experience has been the monitor mixerperson usually begins the numbering with the wedge closest to the console, whichever side of the the stage it may be on.

Not in my experience. Typically channels and mixes are based on how they're seen from FOH. And the Monitor console is ALWAYS SL, right? ;-) (Want me to be really grumpy? Just put the Mon console SR!!)
Historically, back in the analog days, the lowest mix send was at the top of the console and closest to that position on stage (1 = SR). (Are you listening, Soundcraft??)
With digital, that isn't necessarily the way the mixes are laid out, but still the standard remains...

Then they'd be wrong, unless by some catastrophe the monitor desk ended up SR!  ;-)

Shall we have a discussion about followspot color frame numbers, position in the boomerang, and which side of the Ron Hebbard Memorial border is involved? ;) 8)

Hey, at least we don't add an extra "o" to the end of "Soca". :P

(I once asked an touring LX head why Americans pronounce it "sock-o", and the answer he gave me was so self-deprecating that I can't repeat it here without violating forum policies...)

We've released a new version of the app with internally optimized features, CSS improvements, and smaller instruments that better fit the size of the stage.

The next thing will be to create a "Favorites" section so that each user can mark their favorite items and the selection will be faster when creating a stage plot.

There are already more than 400 registered users who use RiderMaker.


Thanks!

Thank you for your hard work.  How is the text tool on drawing screen coming along? Can't it be just another object.  While it would be nice to just double click the stencil if that is not possible then just make a text object.
