Back in the mid 2k's I was introduced to and became thoroughly familiar with the Rosco LPS lighting paperwork software. I've never been fluent with Vectorworks, and to learn such would be constrictive to my goal of lessening the learning curve.
I rarely do shows these days)my dayjob is operating a skidsteer/cardboard baler at a recycling plant), and am looking for familiar software to outsource some mental energy as I basically go back to scratch, attempting to learn both the EOS lighting control system(coming from only using Express/Expression consoles), and also learning a nearly entirely LED rig, with some moving lights(the past being entirely conventional, mainly Altman 360Q and Shakespeares). MY plan being to suggest the school purchase whatever software is best, so there is an off board record of what's what. From the notes and Excel spreadsheets I've gotten so far, I've determined it isn't a 1 to 1 patch. I've also got limited time on site.
Wort part being that in October, I was told the likelyhood od a show this year was doubtful, so learning EOS has had been back burnered, as all the lighting I do is at this HS once a year. Then I got a email a few weeks back saying the show was back on(same show we were a week from opening when the world crashed.
Linux Software would be a plus, as 90% of the computers I've used in the past decade have been salvaged from e-waste and set up with Linux.
