I find these figures almost impossible to look at, and am constantly trying to figure out what directions the dancers are facing. However, other people might find these figures intuitive. However, the program is not capable of finding resolves for you. Sequences are appended to a file and may be exported to a word processor of your choice. However, as discussed below, many combinations are not available.
Features are also available to pick random calls and generate entire random sequences.
The available formations, arrangements, and calls are definitely less than what are actually legal at Plus. For example, it is impossible to get the dancers into tidal waves with all four boys in the middle, and I couldn't figure out any reasonable way to produce diamonds. Desktop Dancer is reasonable for newer callers who wish to practice their sight calling and choreography skills. However, due to the limitations on arrangements, formations, and call usage, it is probably inappropriate for writing serious choreography. Since only a beta release was available for review, perhaps some of these shortcomings will be addressed in the final release.
