Split Scenes

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Hello :slight_smile:

I’ve gone through and split each of my chapters into multiple scenes. Example: Chapter One has Scene 1, Scene 2 and Scene 3, Chapter Two has Scene 4, Scene 5, Scene 6 and 7… and so on and so on :slight_smile:

Now I would like to put the chapters back together, so that Chapter One will have Scene 1, 2, & 3 all mashed into one text field.

Is there a way to undo all of those splits? I do not wish to compile the manuscript, because I don’t want to export it out of Scrivener.

Hopefully that makes sense…

Thanks in advance,
Stella!

Why not just select the chapter folder in the Binder and hit “Edit Scrivenings”?

I do think there’s a joining function, but I [edit: don’t] remember exactly. Merge, maybe?

Do you really want to “merge” the documents into a single document, or just view them as a single entity?

ooo! Merge! I’ll investigate that!

I would like to still have the manuscript broken into chapters, but I would not like the chapters to be broken into Scenes anymore.

Thanks thanks!
Stella!

It’s pretty hard to think of things that KB hasn’t already thought of and then gone a head and done. And if he hasn’t done it there is probably a very good reason for it.

I wonder if we could get him to design those silly automated phone systems that banks use? Imagine –

The pone rings. One. Two. A pleasant, mac like boing reassures you that you have reached the right place. A calming voice says:

It could happen…

According to an Associated Press article (published today in The Age newspaper) it’s on the way…
