1
Set the layout
Configure layout type, rows, spacing, and sections where they apply before you place anyone. Generic layouts stay flexible; Wenger presets keep known physical dimensions and arrangements close at hand.
Browser App
Build choir standing charts and riser layouts in one workspace.
RiserForge combines layout geometry, solver-assisted balancing, roster cleanup, live assignment, and print-ready handoff in one browser workspace built for choir directors who need a readable chart without wasting hours rebuilding the same plan across multiple tools.
- Layout coverage
- Generic, Flat Platform/Floor, and Wenger preset geometry
- Roster depth
- Managed parts, groups, filters, and CSV or Excel import in one session
- Handoff
- Chart printouts, assigned lists, and reusable configuration files
Core Workflow
Build the layout first, then let the roster follow it
RiserForge keeps geometry, balancing, roster cleanup, and placement in the same session so each decision carries forward instead of being rebuilt somewhere else.
2
Prepare the roster
Import CSV or Excel files, normalize names and heights, manage Part 1 and Part 2 labels, and keep groups organized before assignments begin.
3
Place and revise fast
Click or drag singers into place, reopen disabled slots by dropping onto them, then print the chart or the assigned-only list when the layout settles.
Inside the App
Built for live layout decisions, not just setup screens
Layout view that stays readable
The canvas, ribbon, and roster sidebar stay visible together so generation, balancing, and assignment are not split across disconnected screens.
Roster cleanup where it belongs
Bulk edits, warnings, managed parts, grouping, and import or export controls live in the roster dialog instead of being scattered across the app.
Output that matches the session
Print only the chart, only the assigned positions list, or both, with disabled-position and scope controls that match the current layout state.
App Strengths
Built to make choir layout prep faster and easier
When the roster shifts, sections need to move, or printouts have to go out quickly, RiserForge keeps the layout, assignment, and output workflow in one place so the job gets finished without extra cleanup.
Config
Save the whole session, not just a screenshot
Upload and download full `.riserforge.json` sessions, keep save state visible in the ribbon, and resume work without rebuilding the layout from scratch.
Roster
Handle real ensembles instead of one fixed part list
Rename and reorder parts, support Part 1 and Part 2, color by part or group, and preserve matching assignments after roster edits.
Layout
Answer layout questions before rehearsal starts
Block unusable slots, show stage footprint and riser dimensions, and place piano or podium objects directly on the chart.
Get Started
