Mariner Software Contour for Windows - Manual (Page 21)

Progress Meter
The progress meter provides you the
ability to see the progress of your idea in a
timeline fashion. Each “tick” along the
timeline is equal to a step requiring
thoughtful development.
Ideas Button
Pressing the Ideas button, located at the lower right hand corner of the screen,
provides you with a floating pane in which to store ideas. These ideas appear no
matter what screenplay you are working on. Go ahead and record that inspiration
when it comes to you.
Guide Button
Pressing the Guide button provides yet another pane in which you can outline your
story. The guide shows where major events fall out in your screenplay with
approximate page numbers and a Mnemonic guide to help you remember what
occurs where.
Contour provides many different ways to help you create the most structurally sound story
possible.
