What is Piecemaker?
Piecemaker is a multi-user application which assists in notating and scoring dance and theatrical pieces. In its capture mode it helps you keep track of what happened in rehearsals. This includes rehearsal notes, and the notation of rehearsal videos. In assemblage mode it helps you put the piece together by coordinating events (such as dance scenes, lighting cues, sound cues, etc) in a multi-track timeline.
