Line Notes (for going "off book")

Sounds like a lot more work and less effective than making pencil circles in your book and reviwing with the actors at an appropriate time.

This is my method, too: pencil circles and review w/ actors after the director has given notes.

We just started doing this after I saw the post. The actors LOVE it! I have found that the dry erase markers bleed onto the opposite page, but if you put a sheet of paper between each page protector, it seems to correct the problem. This also allows me to put the pages back to back to save page protectors. Nice idea!

I don't use paperwork because I'd have a lot of papers to shuffle through! Instead, I've taken to using post-it notes. 1 per scene per actor. Makes it easy for them to stick into their scripts. Also, they're small, so when they get fewer post-its they get really excited. :)
NJ.JerrySmith:
Multi-page format (1 page for each actor), good for small shows up to about 4 people (in my opinion)
This is a format I developed after working with a couple different ones from this thread. I like it because it gives me a large space to write out the error and correct line because when I start to scribble the line note down to keep up with the show my handwriting tends to get a little bit large....

I then turn on the auto filter for row 1. You can find it in the data toolbar under filter menu. This creates pull down menus on each of my row 1 headings. Now I think this only works the best in the new version of office (so if you have an older version I don’t know if this file will even open). What you can then do is click on these pull down menus and you see for example, under actor, all the actors in the show that have notes. By selecting a name it filters out the other names and you can then print out a sheet for that actor.
I don’t always enter these notes directly into the computer (sometimes I do). Most of the time its just posits until I put them into the computer. I also don’t pull the post it out until the line is correct! This reminds me that ive gave the note before. I started to rename the worksheets within the workbook by date. Another thing you could do is have one sheet and a date group.
There are so many things you can use this for, and by all means I don’t know that this is always the best format or way to go. In fact I enjoy seeing everyone else’s form and it is always fun to try new forms! Anyway enjoy. In case you can't tell, I love microsoft office!

I do it this way aswell and email them out so that they can get them quickly and work on them before the next rehearsal, which for me is generally within 12 hours. I love the simplicity of this and that they can still easily understand.
