Adding Introduction/Prelude

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Hello,

I’ve been searching around on this but have not yet found anything–I am looking to add an introduction/prelude before CHAPTER 1 of my book, but am finding that the auto “chaptering” (the Chapter <$W> command under formatting) fastens itself to all sections, including what I want to be my introduction/prelude.

Is there a way to bypass this so that the auto-chaptering ignores the first section?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Bainks

I think you need Title Adjustments in the Compile dialogue. (File > Compile > All Options, then Title Adjustments in the side bar). There’s a drop down list which allows you to exclude any document from title prefixes and suffixes (including auto numbering). You can exclude more than one document.

Does that help?

Regards

David
