Dual Dialogue
Dual Dialogue is an easy way to demonstrate that moment when both people need to share their perspectives. This feature can be activated while typing new dialogue in the script, or retroactively to convert previously typed dialogue to the Dual Dialogue format.
*Note: This format will only work for one segment of Dialogue at a time. Unlike writing normal Dialogue, you will need to reactivate Dual Dialogue each time you hit Enter.
