I use AT2 when I need a time-based view, and to do massive “time when things occur” changes. If I can’t see it in Scrivener, I don’t bother.The rest of these tips presume that you have desktop versions of both apps. If you have both desktop versions, your changes in iOS AT2 and in iOS Scrivener will coordinate when you run a sync in desktop AT2. If you are an iOS-only user, you’ll need to build your AT2 timelines manually.

iOS Scrivener and iOS AT2 don’t interact. Syncing between Scrivener projects and AT2 timelines only happens between desktop versions.

Here are some tips for using them together, that I’ve gleaned in the time since Scrivener 3 (Mac and Windows beta), Scrivener iOS, and AT2 (Mac, Windows, and iOS) were released: Aeon Timeline 2 (AT2) can be tough as well. Here the text block lies on one of the detached boards, awaiting rebinding.Scrivener can have a high learning curve. When the tortuous sewing project was finished, I had re-created an intact text block, sewn through the folds of the folios over five linen tapes. The whole process took days, but when I was finished, the interior of Blair’s Chronology once again held an intact timeline. Then I had to suspend and prop up the remainder of the stack again. When I had finished sewing one folio, I released the whole stack from the clip and the blocks, then separated out the next folio and laid it on the deck to sew.

By peering between the blocks and stretching my arms to their utmost, I was able to sew one folio of the stack at a time. I suspended the fore-edge of the stack of connected folios from a padded clip secured to the chair legs, and I propped the spine edge of the stacked folios on a couple of blocks. I propped the spine edge of the unsewn portion on blocks to keep it out of the way while I sewed the underlying leaves.Īfter much head scratching and experimentation, I at last engineered a modified sewing frame from an office chair. The legs of an office chair allowed me to suspend the unsewn portion of the accordion-like text block from a clip. How could I keep the upper part of the stack from getting in my way and weighing down the folios below? My solution for sewing this oversized book with folios stuck together at the fore-edges might have been taken from a MacGyver script. Somehow, I had to sew these connected folios one at a time as in traditional sewing, starting at the bottom of the stack. In the case of Blair’s timeline, I did not have individual sections, but a thick stack of folios (individual folded sheets) that were already connected to each other at the outer or fore-edge of the text block. (When round cords are used as sewing supports, they create the horizontal bumps across a book’s spine.) Each section is then laid on the deck in turn, and the binder uses a length of thread to sew through the fold of the section and out around the cords or tapes, securing the sections to the vertical sewing supports and to one another. To make these individual sections into a text block that can be bound, the binder sets up a sewing frame with taut cords or tapes running from the deck of the sewing frame to a crossbar at the top. In a traditional book, the text block is made of several “signatures” or “sections,” each of which consists of one or more folded sheets nested together. The book’s large size and accordion format meant that I could not use my usual sewing frame (pictured above). Resewing proved to be a fascinating challenge. When the cord is wrapped with thread, I take another long stitch through the folded paper before coming out at the next cord. To attach each section of the book to the vertical sewing supports, I sew through the fold of the paper, wrapping the thread around each cord as I come to it. Here I’m using a wooden sewing frame to re-sew a more traditional text block. At the time of my last blog post, I was engaged with mending the split spine folds of the book’s engraved plates so it could be resewn and rebound. Its lengthy timeline of world events, formed from an accordion of high-quality paper stuck together with dough wafers, had separated in many places. Its sewing was broken, and its leather spine was rotten and split. When last I mentioned Joseph Priestley’s copy of John Blair’s Chronology and History of the World from Creation to the Year of Christ, 1788, the book was in several pieces.
