Creating Scenes

- Act & Scene Number: E.g., Act 1, Scene 3 displays as "1.3". The Act picker offers Acts 1–6, which covers the five-act classical drama and the opera that ends on a separate tableau; a production with more acts than that can type any act number into the Act field on the scene's own page
- Title: The scene name or description
- Location: Where the scene takes place on stage
- Song: If the scene includes a musical number
- Characters: Comma-separated list of characters in the scene
