Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for managing movements of stage elements within a stage play, the method comprising: receiving, on a computing device, input specifying one or more stage dimensions, including a width dimension; generating automatically, on the computing device, a stage layout of a stage having the specified one or more dimensions, including the width dimension, the stage layout including a customizable-unit numberline that designates a stage centerline and locations along the width of the stage in terms of a unit distance from the centerline; receiving, on the computing device, input specifying at least two stage elements; creating, on the computing device, a plurality of charts documenting a first set of positions of a first stage element of the at least two stage elements and a second set of positions of a second stage element of the at least two stage elements on the stage at a plurality of time periods in a staging of the at least two stage elements, each of the plurality of charts associated with a corresponding time period and including the stage layout and representations of the at least two stage elements each at a position on the stage during the corresponding time period, wherein the positions of the representations of the at least two stage elements are associated with the numberline; generation a first staging staff section comprising a first plurality of rows, each row representing at least an aspect of the first stage element of the at least two stage elements at a plurality of counts or sub-counts; generating a second staging staff section comprising a second plurality of rows, each row representing at least an aspect of the second stage element of the at least two stage elements at the plurality of counts or sub-counts, wherein the first staging staff section and the second staging staff section are distinct from and do not overlap each other; and ordering, on the computing device, the plurality of charts according to their respective time periods.
