Scriptwriting mode - x/8 scene length in footer

So, scriptwriting page length. Yup, this old chestnut. I know this was a contentious issue back in the days of Scrivener 1, and pretty much went away with the introduction of Page View in Scrivener 2.

But…

As an extra bonus to those of us trying our hand at scriptwriting (I think Scrivener’s way of working may be even better suited to getting a first draft of a script than it is novels, by the way)… would it be possible to either change or add to how page counts are displayed in the footer bar for documents in scriptwriting mode?

Instead of[1] saying that (for example) the cursor is on page 1 of 2, could it give me an estimate of the total scene length in 1/8s of a page? So

Length: 1 3/8 page

  1. or as well as. As well as might be cool ↩︎

  2. always 1/8s, so 4/8 is still 4/8, not 1/2 ↩︎
