Not everything on a stage makes noise. The Music Stand icon gives the venue a countable number of stands and lights to supply, and drawing it is what turns a request into a task somebody can tick off.
Add it, label it, and save the plot. The next time this band books, the layout is already done.
Put it where it will really stand, not where it is convenient to draw. 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. Stageplot Pro keeps every icon to scale, so the spacing you draw is the spacing the crew builds.
The detail that saves a phone call. 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.
Music 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.
Channel names travel with the plot. Export a scene file for an X32, M32, or Wing, or a channel name CSV for dLive, Avantis, SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL. See the console guides.
