I have multiple scenes in a chapter, sometimes from different POVs, or different locations/times. Now I would like to make it clear to the reader that they have left a scene and are entering a new one. Now, Scrivener (which I just started using, so I'm not an expert), places a '#' between scenes, but I have never seen this in a real book. I have seen things like: .--------------- or x--------------x to separate scenes. I'm not so interested in what the style manuals say, I just want to make it easy for the readers to understand they are in a new scene. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? Edit: To clarify, I'm planning to self publish, so I will be doing the manuscript formatting myself.
