Sargent says scenes are numbered consecutively from one, through all reels of a multi-reel play, but each serial part restarts at one. A camera stop, bust or close-up, or dissolve boundary takes a new number; cut-in leaders and inserts do not interrupt a scene. In his examples a cut-in leader is marked inline (the word Cut-in and quoted words) inside the numbered scene, and a return to a set is written "as in No. N". In Ch. XXXI-XXXII he gives no separate number for a leader or insert (bounded to the passages read).

Curator qualifications: Consecutive numbering across reels, serial parts restarting, new number on camera stop, inline cut-ins and 'as in No. N' verified; bounded negative on separate leader numbers as stated.
