Is there a way to temporarily lengthen the screenplay format line break in Celtx, especially for verse/poetry?

Hi ina,

Have you tried using shift+return to pad your verses?

Cheers,

Yes, but what if your verse lines are longer than the Celtx linebreaks?

Well, you're a little stuck then as you are trying to fit something into an established format, which has determined line lengths based on page margins.

So I'm not sure what you can do in this situation.

Is there a way to modify the celtx format for verse lines only?

There's no way to easily change the format at this time.

Do you know if the format is specified in some stylesheet somewhere - or do you know how the celtx installation folders are structured, where I might be able to find the format files?
