Project notes

[Daniel]

Hello!

I'm an existing Scrivener and IA writer user and am trying the free trial of Storyist.

Question: How do you effectively use your project/scene notes? I get the split window function, but is it possible to have your notes visible e.g. in the Inspector?

 

Thank you,

Daniel :)

Hi Daniel!

Welcome aboard.

I use Storyist for screenwriting but have had 4 way splits in Storyist.  It's really flexible!

You are aware of the split window function (between GOALS and INSPECTOR at the top right).
Are you aware of the little "+" plus button at the top right of the editing area?  It's like another TAB in your Browser.  
Click the "+" for another tab in Storyist; then, click FILE-NEW (Or open whatever has your project notes in it.)  You can keep adding MORE TAB windows within Storyist.  They are also draggable/rearrageable order.

Play with it.  There are little icons above each (file) window.  You can toggle views on each one (narrative/outline/beats-cards/AND SPLIT "EDITOR" VERTICALLY! {The 'X' next to it CLOSES THE SPLIT.}
You'll see your split windows with Up to two different views (or could be different documents as I recall). And still in Storyist, you'll have another (window) open in another TAB which can hold your 'project notes'.   I personally use this function to edit versions on my document.  

You can also do VIEW - SPLIT-HORIZONTALLY.    [HAVE YOUR CURSOR CLICKED ON THE WINDOW (to make IT the active window) which you'd like to split!]

Have Fun!
