Method Storyteller 0.6.0

Tools for the production draft: scene numbers that hold, revision sets with marks and coloured
pages, omitted scenes, and the pages you choose to issue.

Scene numbers that hold

  • Production > Number Scenes… keeps the numbers a script already has and letters the new
    scenes between them (12A, 12B; A1 before the first). It can also number from any start, from
    the current scene on, and leave out I and O.
  • Production > Edit Scene Number… sets one scene's number by hand.
  • Left margin, right margin or both. Number Scenes… chooses where the numbers print, and
    the script keeps the choice.

Omitted scenes

  • Production > Omit Scene replaces a scene with OMITTED and keeps its number, so the
    numbers after it stay where they are. Unomit Scene brings the scene back as it was.

Revisions

  • Production > Revisions… lists the revision sets. Add the next one in the standard
    colours (White, Blue, Pink and on), rename it, change its mark, choose the active one, or
    delete one (its marks move to the set before it).
  • Production > Revision Mode (⌘⇧R). What you change is marked in the active set, and text
    you take out leaves a mark where it was. Mark Revised (⌘]) and Clear Revised (⌘[)
    act on the selection or the paragraph.
  • On screen and on the page. Revised text shows in its set's colour, the set's mark sits in
    the right margin of every changed line, and the set's name and date print under the page
    number. The View menu shows all sets, only the active one, or none, and can show revised
    pages in their set's colour.

Issue the pages you need

  • File > Export PDF… issues all pages, revised pages only, a page range (12-18, 22A), or
    the pages a range of scenes prints on (12-15). It can print revised pages on their colour,
    or a clean copy with no marks.

Not there yet

  • Revision mode does not yet mark a whole new paragraph, or two paragraphs joined, as
    changed.
  • No locked pages (A-pages) or production reports yet.
  • On Windows and Linux, download each new version from the website.
