About this app
Build a band or orchestra stage layout in minutes, using just your phone or tablet. Decide who stands where and which instrument goes where: place instrument symbols on the canvas, arrange them, and save the whole stage layout as an image you can share.
Unlike generic stage-plot apps, Layout 4 Band ships with instrument-specific symbols such as timpani and marimba, so it fits real concert band, orchestra, and percussion ensemble instrumentation out of the box.
Who it is for
- Concert band and orchestra directors, conductors, student conductors, and section leaders
- Percussion ensemble instructors and planners
- Concert and contest stage crew, stage managers, and audio staff
- Anyone who needs to diagram and share who stands where, and which instrument goes where, for a musical group
Where it helps
- Stage layouts for concerts, contests, and guest performances
- Import a photo of the real stage or rehearsal room floor as the background and lay out on top of it
- Use the center cross and grid for symmetrical, evenly spaced setups
- Percussion section equipment layouts
- Section order and seating charts
Main features
Place instrument symbols
Tap the canvas to drop a symbol where you want it. Scroll the palette at the top to pick one. Tap for the default size; some symbols offer size and type variants on a long press.
Edit freely
Drag to move, pinch to scale, and rotate any symbol. A long press opens a detail menu: copy, delete, delete multiple, reset rotation, reset scale, and edit text. Select All and Select Multiple are supported too.
Overlay on a real stage photo
Photograph the actual stage or rehearsal room floor, set it as the background, and lay out on top of it. Pick an existing photo or take one with the camera. Photo selection uses the Android system photo picker, so no storage permission is needed.
Line things up with the center cross and grid
Choose a level: off, center cross only, or a grid with 2, 4, or 8 divisions. Use the cross through the canvas center and the grid to get symmetrical, evenly spaced setups fast. You can also choose whether the grid appears in the saved image.
Save by name and pick up where you left off
Save your work on the device under a name and reopen it any time from the list. Work in progress is saved automatically so you can resume next time.
Export and share as an image
Your finished stage layout is rendered to a high-resolution PNG and saved to your device Photos or gallery, ready to send by message or email.
Included instrument symbols (partial list)
- Basic shapes: cross mark; circle (medium, small, with text); square; rectangle, including a free-resizable one; text label
- Music stand, conductor podium, conductor, microphone
- Percussion: timpani (2 to 5), bass drum, snare drum, cymbals (suspended, crash, pair), drum kit, congas and bongos, toms, marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, glockenspiel, chimes, gong
- Keyboard and strings: grand piano, harp
Any symbol can carry text to show a name or a part.
Good to know

- Free, with no in-app purchases

- Optimized for both phones and tablets
Notes
