Hi,
I’ve been writing a lot of short stories with scrivener recently, and I’ve noticed that the text always scrolls to the active writing part. I like this, because it centres the cursor on the screen and gives context to what I’m writing. Only, that isn’t true for the start of a story.
What I’ve noticed myself doing is adding a page of carriage returns to make this work. Partly it’s my own writing style because I tinker most with the opening few paragraphs - and sometimes rewrite them twenty times or more. Then, I have to delete the newlines before printing. I do this a lot, because I print stories a lot to edit them.
I just wonder if there’s any possibility of including space above the first page? It would be nice to have a marker line showing where the manuscript begins, for example, with blank space above that to allow the manuscript to scroll so the first line can be in the centre of the screen, too.
Like I say, this is trivial. My issue is mainly because I have a large-screen imac which is at eye-level in the middle so I have to tilt my neck back to read text at the top.
Anyway, it’s an easy thing to shortcut manually - but if there was an option, I’d appreciate it.
Cheers,
John
