"Transition" vs "count" in Production Sheet
Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2012 5:40 pm
This always happens when I first start writing in the summer.....I'm reminded of all the things I meant to suggest updates for from the previous season.
It would be nice to have some way of defining pages in the Production Sheet in terms of "Transition Counts" from the previous set rather than "Absolute" counts. While I understand the logistical need for maintaining a record of absolute counts from the programs point of view....no one actually refers to sets as being counts 147-173 (or whatever it is). They refer to them by their transition counts.
In other words...it would be great to be able to define a bunch of phrases as "16, 8, 10, 20, 12, 16, 16...." instead of "16, 24, 34,54,66,82,98....". Despite several degrees in engineering...I always end up wasting time trying to figure out the "absolute counts" and inevitably always botch things from time to time. It's even worse when the music is in 7/4 or jumps around or something like that.
Thoughts?
