Apologies in advance if this has been asked before. I looked for it and it seems new. So here it is: would it be possible to have numbering in the footnotes directly in the main interface, and not only after compiling a document?
When I compile or export an item – usually my final draft of a chapter to be submitted to my editors – footnotes are numbered correctly. After a few editing and reviewing steps between me and the editors, it happens quite often that I have to change something in the main text that also affects the footnotes, sometimes rearranging them. Or I need to check whether all the notes have been placed correctly in the final version before print. Without seeing the footnote numbers in the main interface it takes me a lot of time, and it requires a lot more attention with a chance for introducing new errors, to check the footnotes / endnotes. I basically have to switch constantly between Scrivener and MS Word (usually the software of choice of my editors).
Many thanks!
I see the problem clearly now. Perhaps a simple numbering would be doable, or one for footnotes, one for comments, etc – with the caveat that it’s provisional and subject to change in compile. Anyway, thanks for your reply!
