Target for document in Composition Mode

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

For various reasons I have one project (Encyclopedia articles, Or perhaps I should say Encyclopaedia articles) and a folder, then a document for each article. This is a good way to organize.

Each article has a different word target.

I LOVE composition mode, but would like to have the target (lovely reinforcement) for that document alone displayed when I am composing. But though there is a very nice window for PROJECT word counts that can float beside the composition mode, there seems no way to have that reflect targets for only the document I am writing. It shows the word sum of ALL the Encyclopedia articles. NOT what is desired.

And though there is a word count for the document with a nice little grow-bar, that shows up only in binder view.

Suggestions? Or perhaps an option needs to be added?

More likely is that I’ve just missed how to do it, though I’ve searched the forum and the manual.

As always, thank you for answering, and thanks to KB for Scrivener. I am just now getting the hang of 3 and it’s pretty great, and very handsome.

I could use it too -

Drop your mouse down to the bottom of the screen. You’ll see the word count and target (if there is one) for the current document, same as you would in the main editor.

Thank you so much. you’re always one of my favorite Scriveners - I didn’t know it was down there with the other stuff.

At the risk of being rude, I must admit that that panel is one of my least used tools although it should be mostbecause I have to mouse over. It always disturbs the flow of my thinking.

A free floating animated icon would be very very very productive for me. A generic utility like that would be even greater!

But then I love MyColumn and just used it the other day to sort out a long article.

Go figure,

As one example, Highland does it - I mean it’s goofy but sometimes I need to break away from the even the fabulous Scrivener world which I think I have inhabited nearly from day one.
