Do you spend hours every time you make a stage layout? Suisogaku Setting is an iPad and iPhone app for creating stage layouts (seating charts) for school wind bands, orchestras, and community ensembles. Register your members, choose the parts, and let the app place them automatically. Then just drag with your finger to fine-tune. You get a clean layout far faster than with PowerPoint, Excel, or hand drawing. ■ Who it is for ・Student conductors, band officers, section leaders ・Advisors, instructors, stage managers and stage crew ・Anyone who rebuilds a seating chart for every concert and competition ■ A layout in a few minutes 1. Register members (manual entry or CSV import) 2. Choose the stage (music room, gym, small/medium/large hall, competition stage, and more) 3. Select parts and place them automatically 4. Drag with your finger to adjust 5. Export and share as PDF or image ■ Main features ◎ Automatic placement for large groups Place parts or members in a straight row, an arc, or multiple rows at once. Set rows, players, spacing, radius, and conductor direction, and check a preview before confirming. With 60 or 120 players, rearranging takes a moment. ◎ Adjust directly with your finger Move, rotate, align, distribute evenly, group, and lock. Pinch to zoom and pan with two fingers. Every change can be undone. ◎ Designed for real band settings Players appear with an instrument color, abbreviation, and name. Place large instruments such as piano, double bass, timpani, marimba, and drum set, plus chairs, music stands, risers, and the podium. Add guest and extra players not on your member list, and show players who appear in only some pieces with a dotted outline. ◎ Sync between iPad and iPhone Signed in to the same Apple Account, your groups, members, and layouts are available on both devices. Build on iPad, check on iPhone on concert day. ◎ Member list import via CSV Import names, readings, grades, instruments, and more at once. The app suggests standard instrument names for abbreviations and English names such as Cl or Trumpet, and you review everything before importing. Your existing list is never overwritten without confirmation. ◎ PDF and image export for each purpose Create outputs for members, stage crew, or the hall from the same data, with or without names. A4 landscape by default, plus PNG, JPEG, printing, and sharing. ◎ Gentle notices The app points out objects extending beyond the stage and seats with no member assigned. The final decision is yours. ■ Use it with confidence ・All features are free, with no watermark. ・No account registration required. ・Data is stored on your device and in your own iCloud. The developer never sees it. ・Works offline and syncs when you are back online. ■ Where it helps Concerts / competitions / ensemble contests / rehearsals / welcome events / graduation concerts / stage meetings / documents for the hall Spend your limited rehearsal time on music, not on arranging seats. Try it for free. Designed primarily for iPad. On iPhone, you can view and make light edits to your synced layouts.
