Scene Numbers preserved in Compiled Output

I’m using Scrivener to write a play. I’m using US play format. I wrote a previous draft in Word and was very dissatisfied. After researching tools I adopted Scrivener.

Everything is great. However, when I select a sequence of scenes and compile them the scenes are renumbered.

I have 17 scenes in my play. Suppose I select scenes 1, 4, 9 and 12. These scenes comprise a particular character’s arc. I want to compile them and send them to a reviewer. When I select them and compile the output the scenes are renumbered 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the generated output.

Is there a way to preserve the scene numbers in the complete output in the numbering in the compiled output when the compiled output is a subset of the whole?

I do not need the page numbers to be preserved – just the scene numbers.

Thank you,

Carey Gister
