Mariner Software Contour for Mac - Manual (Page 21)

Progress Meter
The progress meter provides you the ability to see the progress of your idea in a
timeline fashion. Each “tick” along the timeline is equal to a step requiring
thoughtful development.
Ideas Button
Pressing the Ideas button, located at the lower right hand corner of
the screen, provides you with a floating pane in which to store ideas.
These ideas appear no matter what screenplay you are working on.
Go ahead and record that inspiration when it comes to you.
Guide Button
Pressing the Guide button provides yet another pane in which you
can outline your story. The guide shows where major events fall out
in your screenplay with approximate page numbers and a Mnemonic
guide to help you remember what occurs where.
Contour provides many different ways to help you create the most structurally
sound story possible.
