Leave a Note and Let the Dramaturg Address It in Plot

Leave a note on the words it is about, hand your open notes to the Dramaturg, and keep or undo the change it makes from the note.

Transcript

A note sits on its words

Select a line, choose Note, and write the thought. The words stay lightly highlighted and a marker sits beside the page, so the note stays with the lines it is about as you keep editing. Notes never print or export.

Notes opens the list of every note on the draft, scene by scene. Reply to a note, resolve it when it is dealt with, and reopen it if it comes back.

Hand the open notes to the Dramaturg

Choose Address above the list, then all open notes, the notes on this scene, or only the ones you tick. The Dramaturg replies on every note it was given and changes the script only where a note asks for a change.

Each change waits on the page for you to accept or reject, with Undo on its note and Undo all above the list, so nothing it does is final until you say so.
