If you do, any instruments that you bring onto it will be scaled (slightly smaller than if not), and the 'Scale to Stage' checkbox in the Preferences window will be checked for you, and un-checked when you close the file, unless it was checked before you imported the stage. Choose whether you want your instruments scaled to the stage. Import a 72dpi image, large enough that is won't have to be enlarged, as it may blur somewhat.

Once on-stage, you may reposition your instrument by dragging it.“Instruments” include everything from drums to microphones, amplifiers, monitors, musicians, DI boxes, electric drops, risers, text, etc. Click on the stage to add the instrument in place.
