# Overview
|
|
|
|
Editing a scene metric changes how a project tracks one story quality across scenes. This can affect how writers read graphs and compare pacing, tone or emotional movement.
|
|
|
|
# When Should I Use This?
|
|
|
|
Use it when the metric name is unclear, the scale is awkward, the default value does not represent neutral, or the metric should no longer be active.
|
|
|
|
# How To Use It
|
|
|
|
Keep the meaning stable once scenes have values. If you change the definition, review existing scene values so old ratings still make sense.
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
|
|
If "Darkness" was meant as moral darkness but scenes were rated as visual darkness, clarify the description before more values are added.
|
|
|
|
# Writer Tip
|
|
|
|
Metric descriptions are a contract with future revision. Make them concrete.
|
|
|
|
# Common Mistakes
|
|
|
|
- Changing min and max without considering existing values.
|
|
- Renaming a metric so old scene ratings become misleading.
|
|
- Keeping inactive metrics near the top of the list.
