The tool above opens on the traditional British brass band layout: two horseshoe rows around the conductor, every seat already labeled with its position, from principal cornet to the basses. Add your players, run the automatic seating and each one takes their position. Free, no sign-up.
The positions follow the most common layout in Britain. A seat with no player stays visible, with the name of the expected position.
Principal cornet at the end of the front row, nearest the audience, then the solo cornets. Opposite, across the square, solo euphonium and second euphonium.
Flugelhorn, solo horn, the horns and the baritones close the front row, between the cornets and the euphoniums.
Third and second cornets and repiano on the left, soprano cornet in the corner, E♭ and B♭ basses at the back, trombones on the right.
Percussion and timpani sit at the back, behind the basses. Every position can be changed or moved, and a seat can stay vacant.

Auto layout follows the conventions of each ensemble type. You start from a sound plan and adapt it to your venue.
Strings fan out in front of the conductor, from first violins to cellos, with the double basses on the right. Woodwinds sit in the center, brass behind them, percussion at the back.
Flutes, oboes and clarinets form an arc in the front row. Saxophones and horns sit in the middle, trumpets, trombones, euphoniums and tubas behind, percussion at the back. The same layout works for a marching band seated on stage.
Sopranos and altos in front, tenors and basses behind, so every section can hear itself. The accompanying piano sits at the front, on the left.
Three rows facing the audience: saxophones in front, trombones in the middle, trumpets at the back. Piano, guitar, bass and drums are grouped on the left.
The British square: solo cornets facing the euphoniums, trombones and basses on the second row, every seat with its named position.
Strings in an arc around the conductor. In a baroque setting, the continuo, harpsichord or organ, sits in the center, in front of the strings.
Every seat in the layout carries its position: principal cornet, solo cornets, repiano, soprano, flugel, horns, baritones, euphoniums, trombones and basses. Add your players with their instrument, click “Auto layout”: each one takes the position for their instrument and part.
