Goal in symbols #1237

Open Rimadd opened 9 months ago

Rimadd commented 9 months ago

Can't find where I can set goal for chapter or total goal in symbols, not in words. I found where I can turn on displaying count of symbols, it's useful, but setting goals in symbols will be more convient for me. Does this possibility exist in Manuskript? Thanks for your answer and awesome program!

I think Manuskript does not really translate goals of words to goal of characters since words have varying amounts of characters. So you should be able to use goals as if they were meaning characters to track progress. It's basically an arbitrary number without unit for goals.

Maybe it could be more obvious by adjusting the UI or we need to support specific units for goals.
