Layout Mode
Layout mode is where you customize your onscreen layout and make connections
between your MIDI hardware and the screen controls in your concert. You drag screen
controls into the workspace and arrange them onscreen to customize your layout, then
make controller assignments between your MIDI hardware and the screen controls.
In the Layout Inspector, you can edit layout parameters to customize hardware
assignments and modify the visual look of screen controls.
 Layout Inspector: View and edit parameters for screen controls in the workspace,
including hardware assignment and appearance parameters.
 Panel Controls and Shelf Controls palettes: Drag screen controls from either palette
into the workspace to add them to your onscreen layout. Panel controls appear
surrounded by a flat panel in the workspace, while shelf controls appear on an
adjustable three-dimensional shelf.
In Layout mode, unlike the other modes in MainStage, you can’t select or edit
individual patches. You can play and hear the last selected patch as you work on your
layout.
