3 The MainStage Interface
You do all your work in MainStage in a single window, the
MainStage window.
The MainStage window is organized to make working with your patches and your
layout easy as you edit your concerts. The workspace fills the center of the window,
with inspectors and other editing areas on the left and right sides. When you are ready
to perform, you can use one of two performance-oriented modes to maximize your
onscreen layout for easy viewing on stage.
The MainStage Window
Some features of the MainStage interface are common to all modes, while others are
only available in certain modes.
