Reading the Mic Plot Grid
The grid shows characters down the left and scenes across the top:
- Gray badge: Auto-assigned mic number
- Colored badge: Manually overridden mic assignment
- Dash (—): Character appears but no mic assigned yet
- Empty cell: Character doesn't appear in that scene. If you have edit permissions, a faint appears and clicking opens a dialog to add the character to that scene.
