FRED. My character is strong and forthright
(COMMENT) Fred has to be swaying and leaning as he says this to emphasise the ephemeral nature of his rambling. This aspect to be developed further.
All (COMMENT) lines can then be extracted separately. In fact, you could start by laying out (COMMENT) in the nature of a storyboard, with each scene header, then fleshing out the action around about.

Since trelby is pretty basic as text fonts go (which is one of the things I love) I don't know how the comments might be tied to the text or the commented passages be highlighted or marked somehow. It could be a separate list of comments (like google docs) where clicking on the comment takes one to the passage in question or something to that effect.
