- Review more than words: Inspect changes to speaker, balloon style, emphasis, punctuation and pairing.
- Hand off a decided round: Export correction text, CSV, JSON, a page ledger and printable HTML.

A practical example
The Saltmarsh Courier — original fictional comic scripts
Start with
Round 0: 4 pages, 11 panels and 24 lettered items. Round 1 adds a page and changes text, speaker, style, emphasis and placement. Round 2 includes a split, merge and duplicate sound effects.
Get this result
Round 1: 24 − 1 deleted + 3 added = 26 items. Round 2: 26 + 1 from splitting − 1 from merging − 1 deleted = 25 items. Nine changed rows plus one ambiguous unchanged row require 10 decisions.
Examples use fictional or synthetic data. Follow this example step by step.
From the revised script to a reviewed correction packet
Actual BylinaRounds screens in Chrome on Linux. The Saltmarsh Courier is original fictional practice material.
Review the script against the lettering
Round 1 separates text, speaker, style and emphasis changes, using the page and balloon IDs from the lettered script. View full size Decide ambiguous pairings
Round 2 splits a caption and asks which of two identical DONNG effects was removed. Both affected pairings need a decision. View full size Repair the proposed match
Choose the old and new items in Re-pair. A split can pair one item with two or three; a merge reverses that relationship. View full size

Before you buy
- Extract the buyer ZIP and open BylinaRounds.html in desktop Google Chrome. Use Load example to try the three supplied script versions. The single-file app needs no installation, account, server or internet connection.
- Verified in Google Chrome 152 on Linux, including a run without networking and a 390px layout. Other browsers and operating systems are unverified. Desktop is recommended for reviewing scripts.
- Use scripts with PAGE headings, Panel headings and NAME: dialogue. Check that the parsed page list matches the source before locking.
- Keep the exact script used for the current lettering and a separate copy of the revised script.
Compatibility & limits
Verified in Google Chrome 152 on Linux, including a run without networking and a 390px layout. Other browsers and operating systems are unverified. Desktop is recommended for reviewing scripts. Inputs must follow the documented PAGE / Panel / NAME: text grammar. It reads body paragraphs, basic emphasis and numbering from .docx, or .txt/.md/.fountain text. Microsoft Word and Google Docs exports were not tested; the supplied DOCX examples were generated as OOXML fixtures. Headers, footers, comments, notes and images are excluded and listed. PDF and legacy .doc input are unsupported. Accept or reject tracked changes before importing a copy. Ambiguous lines need a decision before locking. Pairing proposals can be wrong, especially with heavy rewrites and repeated dialogue. Inspect the parsed script and every proposed correction. No integration with lettering apps; paste or retype the corrections yourself. Per script: 8 MiB, 30,000 lines/paragraphs, 200 pages, 3,000 lettered items and 2,000 characters per item. DOCX: 1,000 ZIP entries and 32 MiB of XML. Books: baseline plus 12 correction rounds and 64 MiB. Locking or saving beyond the book limits is refused. No autosave or cloud storage. Download Save book before closing. Decisions and pairings are restored when reopening; undo history is not. Book fingerprints detect accidental and casual edits, not deliberate recomputation by someone editing the file. Plain paste text lists emphasis instructions; use the rich paste HTML when you need formatted text. Canonical CSV preserves the source text; use the separate spreadsheet-safe CSV for formula-like cells. For your personal or commercial lettering work on your own computers. Included source may be modified for your own use; redistribution or resale of the app or source is not permitted. The manual and sample scripts may be shared unmodified. Exports use each correction row’s actual old and new pages. If one old page is split across revised pages, the print heading and page ledger list all destinations; an absent side is null in JSON and blank in CSV. Page-level suggestions do not replace the per-row destination.
