Anyone remember Great American Products' "Chart-A-Beam"? I could never afford it, and made do with homemade cardboard triangles, as I was a starving college student.
I really put the time into this sheet to have it be something sendable to everyone with a PC, and most likely excel. I've seen lightwright, and that's nice, but I like being able to see ALL of my instruments at once...

I developed this for my college. Since then, it's been used:
to grade all of lighting I's projects for 2 yrs now

Used to do most of the lights for Diviners
All of the lights for Urinetown
A good amount of the lights for Lysistrata, and keeps adding on more...


...And I'll add those other things gafftaper wanted...see first post...working on the angle idea (Some people are never satisfied...)
