Setup — Bars (Fly System)

The Setup area manages the physical structure of the stage. This page covers bars (with freely positionable fixtures), shown in the app sidebar as the "Fly System" sub-tab — for lighting rigs, see Setup — Lighting Rigs.

Create a bar

1. Click "New Bar" (bottom right)
2. Fill in the fields: name, length, optionally hide dimension marks
3. Click "Create"

Place a fixture on the bar

Click the desired position on the bar line → the channel picker opens → search and select a channel → confirm the position (in cm, 0 = centre of the bar).

If the selected channel has a quantity greater than 1 (see Channels), several markers are placed automatically, spaced next to each other.

Move a fixture

Drag the marker along the bar with the mouse button held down.

Edit a fixture

Clicking the marker opens a dialog for a note about the fixture (e.g. "3m rope, special colour…"). From there you can also jump directly "To channel →" in the channel table.

Remove a fixture

Hovering over the marker reveals a red × icon in the top right. After confirming, the fixture is removed from the bar.

Length, height, and note

For each bar, length and height (in the measurement unit chosen under Settings) as well as a free-text note can be edited inline directly.

Reorder bars

Bars can be reordered in the list via drag & drop.

Edit / delete a bar

Using the icons on the right of each bar row (visible on hover):

• Pencil – change name, length, and dimension display
• Trash – delete the bar after confirmation

Save as template

The bookmark icon lets you save a bar into the venue template. You can choose to include the base structure (always included), plus position, channel number, fixture, and notes per fixture.

Note

Bars from the venue template are automatically inherited when creating a new show (without fixture assignments) — unlike lighting rigs, which must be inserted manually.
