Questioning documentation on breakdown & stripboard array lengths about universalschedulestandard HOT 2 CLOSED

Ah, thanks for bringing this up. I think I should further clarify the meaning of that paragraph in the docs.

A stripboard represents one complete scenario for the film. Each stripboard contains a number of different boards. Those boards can represent different areas of responsibility for each strip - such as multiple units, or a boneyard for strips that won't be shot. All breakdowns must exist in only one board, as there can't be two areas of responsibility for one breakdown. (In the case of parted scenes, such as two sides of a phone call, those should be split into two different breakdowns).

In your example you want to create a separate scenario, which is commonly done during scheduling. This would be accomplished by creating a new stripboard and thus new boards. In this second scenario, the breakdowns could be assigned different units than they are in the first scenario. You could even have some breakdowns that were to be shot in the first scenario in the boneyard of the second scenario. But the total sum of the breakdowns in every stripboard must equal the total sum of breakdown objects in the schedule. Otherwise you could potentially end up with scenarios where scenes were missing.

I will update the docs to further clarify the point - maybe even add a graphic to illustrate. Will also leave this issue open for the time being in case anyone else has any further points to make on this topic.

Thanks!
