#2: Initial revision
I was taught (long ago) to use three centered "---" on a line by itself in order to represent, within a chapter, a scene change or the passage of time. e.g. if somebody falls asleep; then "---", then "She woke to the alarm at 7:00 AM." Similarly, if your whole scene is changing but you don't want to end the chapter for some reason, > "Jack lugged his bags downstairs, and met the driver at the curb, and was on his way to the Chicago." > Then "---", > Then, "The following morning, the doorman found him a cab and he arrived at the Argyle building at nine." I was specifically taught to never use extra vertical spacing, either break to a new chapter or put in a line of three dashes centered to indicate an intra-chapter break.
