Show / Hide facing pages

Facing pages are great but when filming a scene get in the way when I’m making notes and following the dialogue (I use my iPad in portrait for this). I don’t use them for this reason. I’d love to be able to hide the facing page so I can just flip straight to the next dialogue page. Then when working on my notes, conti photos, etc, if I could “show” facing pages there’d be somewhere for my additional notes that didn’t crowd the page.

Agreed. I think the current problem is that once we've created "facing pages," Scriptation doesn't seem to differentiate between the added pages and the original script pages; a page is a page is a page. Greg Price's workaround is a good one if someone only has one facing page between each script page, but if anyone has two or more facing pages between any of their script pages, 'odd vs. even' doesn't work anymore; one would have to manually select each script page before printing to PDF. (I'm not criticizing your workaround of course, Greg; I'm saying that if Scriptation knew which pages were script pages vs. any other added page your workaround wouldn't be necessary; a button could be added that would "show only script pages.")

I agree completely. being able to link the facing pages to a layer so that one could display or not the facing pages would be helpful. I used a work-around last week when I only wanted the script (dialog) and the layers associated with the script itself. I took the master script with the facing pages, then printed to PDF just the odd pages. In your case, it may be the even pages, but the point is it printed to PDF just the script and cut out all the facing pages. it also kept the notes and Layers on the script itself. It worked great. See if that works for you.

If turning your iPad to get 2 pages would toggle this facing pages on?

Would like to be able to hide facing pages so you can view the script consecutively

That would be useful. Opposite the first page of any scene I have the set plan, with choreography and cameras marked up (so they are not facing every page). To be able to hide these pages, and to be able to export them as a ‘report’ to the crew for recces and production meetings would be a gift.
