Sample input

I am preparing a venue rehearsal for eight performers. We need to stage the ending and test two lifts. The approved music may be v7, but production hasn't confirmed the file. The usable stage depth is unclear, one entrance has steps, and a performer needs step-free access. The venue floor is painted wood, while we rehearsed on marley. Sam owns warm-up. Internal filming is planned, but two consent responses are missing. If lifts aren't safe to test, we can clean spacing and cues.
