Mores and continueds, pagination and scene numbering

When formatting scripts, it is part of the industry standard to insert "Mores" and "Continueds" when dialogue or a scene runs onto a second or subsequent page. NovaMind can do this automatically for you. Please refer to the Screenwriting / Continuations tab on the Preferences Panel for the options and to adjust these settings to suit so that they will be applied to your NovaMind scripts.

The options on the preferences allow you to set the following aspects:

Scene numbering

You can have scene numbering shown in the script. The scene numbering can be shown on both sides of the page, left only, right only, or not at all.

Scene continuations (Continued)

You can set the continuation options for scenes to show at the bottom of the page (CONTINUED), or at the top of the next page CONTINUED:

If you turn on the Continued (#) option, for scenes that continue for two pagebreaks or more, the continued text will have the number of pages used by the scene shown in the continued number for the page.

Dialogue continuations (More and Cont'd)

You can set the continuation options for dialogues which cross page boundaries to show at the bottom of the page (MORE), or at the top of the next page (cont'd).

If you turn on the Automatic Character Continueds option, the character name will be included before the (cont'd).
