Add Scene Metric
Add a scene metric when a story quality is important enough to track across many scenes.

Overview
Project scene metrics list the sliders available for this project. Active metrics appear in scene editing and can feed analysis views.
When Should I Use This?
Use this section when cleaning up a project's metric set, changing the order of sliders or deactivating metrics that no longer help.
How To Use It
Review each metric's range, default, status and value count. Deactivate a metric when it is no longer useful; remove only unused custom metrics when the app allows it.
Example
If "Violence" has no values in a quiet domestic project, it may be better inactive. If "Tension" has values across every chapter, keep it visible.
Writer Tip
Metrics are most useful when they reveal contrast. Keep the set small enough that each slider has a job.
Common Mistakes
- Removing a metric before checking whether scenes use it.
- Keeping every metric active for every genre.
- Reordering sliders so the important ones are hard to find.
