You do all your work in MainStage in a single window, the MainStage window.

The MainStage window is organized to make it easy to work with your patches and the
layout of your concert. When you open MainStage, the workspace fills the center of the
window, with Inspectors and other editing areas on the sides and below. When you are
ready to perform, you can use one of two performance-oriented modes to maximize your
computer performance and also maximize your display space for easy viewing on stage.

The first time you open MainStage, the Choose Template dialog appears so that you can
choose a concert template to create a new concert. To learn how to open MainStage, see
