The "Dramatised." mark: option (c)

The editor, Dinis Cruz, in the conductor's session, about 23:31 UTC on 4 November 2026. He asked "Can you explain better that “Dramatised” decision?"; the conductor explained publisher 066's options under NR1 (the mark appears 92 times, 22 of them after narrator-only passages): (a) drop the 22, (b) set the mark as a small tag beside the scene's first speaker instead of a line of its own, (c) both; and the journalist's further step (one mark for the whole tour in its opening note) and alternative (one note at the start of the book, none on the page). Kept as given. Never edited.

Yes c

How the conductor reads it (not his words)

• DM1, option (c): the mark is printed only on scenes where an agent speaks (none after narrator-only passages or concept boxes), and as a small tag beside the scene's first speaker, not a line of its own after the scene, so it is never orphaned at a page top. The publisher does it in the build; the chapter files stay as they are.
• He chose (c) as offered: not the tour's single note, not the start-of-book note. The tour's stops keep a tag each, as any agent scene does, unless he says otherwise.
