Line Numbers Please
Line numbers are a necessity when teaching a play in class. Please look into adding line numbers for plays, teachers everywhere will be ever so thankful. Without line numbers, why not just use the free version. Text notes are also awkwardly integrated. Using a format like The Wasteland app would be a huge improvement.
