Coordinate Sheets

Generate PDF coordinate sheets for individual marchers or your entire ensemble.

Export Options

  • Include measures - Add measure numbers to each page
  • Abbreviate coordinate descriptions - Use short form like “S1: 2 out 45” instead of “Side 1: 2 steps outside 45 yard line”
  • Use X/Y headers - Replace “Side to Side” and “Front to Back” with “X” and “Y”
  • Quarter-page layout - Fit 4 marchers per page (automatically enables abbreviations)
  • Organize by Section - Create separate PDFs for each section, or one large PDF in score order
  • Coordinate rounding - Round coordinates to nearest whole, half, quarter, or tenth step
