The Big Band Stand icon covers the physical side of a stage plot. It gives the venue a countable number of stands and lights to supply, which is easy to overlook and expensive to get wrong on show day.
Place it, rotate it, and give it a label that matches the language your crew already uses. The export keeps all of it.
Stage position is the thing that gets argued about at load in, so it is worth drawing accurately. Stands sit directly in front of the reading player, low enough to keep the face visible from the room and high enough to read from. If the room forces a compromise, move the icon and export again. A fresh PDF is cheap; an argument at load in is not.
One thing worth writing down. Say whether stand lights and power are needed. Dark pit and platform positions need both, and the power ask is the one that gets missed.
Big Band Stand is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it gives the venue a countable number of stands and lights to supply, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.
The input list behind the plot exports as a Behringer X32 or Midas M32 scene file, a Behringer Wing scene, or CSV channel names for Allen and Heath dLive, Avantis, and SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL desks. See the console guides.
