The ability to scale, or otherwise transform ruler layers would be great too.

If I decide a background needs to be smaller or flipped there's not an easy way to adjust the perspective rulers short of resetting everything by hand.

A script layer. Or better capacity in the current text layer.

I like to have a layer that is just the current page's script that I can refer to(turn off and on) as I work without leaving the page or program.

I typically just paste from my word doc into a text layer with a solid white bg layer but it costs me time to format to fit in that layer and sometimes I meet the character capacity and have to create a few text layers to do it.

ideally there would just be a notes or script layer that behaved mor eliek a word file or even the text layer in Photoshop.

Does that make sense?

I think it does but I just want to make sure - are you trying to use a single text layer per a page. That was never meant to be the way it worked if so. At any rate, I've added it to the list that I'll be sending my bosses today.

So here is a page I just finished:

And here is the same page with the script layer turned on: [link]

I hit the limits of the text layer all the time since it's only intended for individual balloons so it would be nice to be able to create a layer like this where I can put the script from the writer to refer to while I work. I don't letter my own work typically but I do refer to the writer's script constantly.

I think that's what the Story Editor was supposed to do but falls short. Anyway, it's way clearer now. Thanks!
