Once Dialogue Numbering has been Locked or Multi-Locked, a single speech's numbering can be manually overridden.

Put the cursor anywhere in the Dialogue speech whose numbering you want to adjust.

Under the Production menu, select Animation Locking, then Adjust Dialogue Numbering.

The Locked Dialogue Numbering screen displays.  Choose an option:

Set this Dialogue's numbering to Normal—Changes the current A- or AA- numbered Dialogue to Normally numbered Dialogue.

Set this Dialogue's numbering to A-Numbering—Changes the current AA- or Normally numbered Dialogue to A-Numbering.

Set this Dialogue's numbering to AA-Numbering—Changes the current A- or Normally numbered Dialogue to AA-Numbering.  Only available in scripts where the dialogue numbering has been Multi-Locked.  Otherwise, it's grayed out and unselectable.

Override this Speech's Numbering—Specifies which Normal number this speech should be given.  Accepts a number between 1 and 4096.  Only available when the cursor is in a Normally numbered speech, or in a script that has Locked or Multi-Locked Dialogue Numbering.  Otherwise, it's grayed out and unselectable.

NOTE:  If you change the Normal Dialogue Numbering order—either by switching a Normally numbered speech to an A- or AA- speech, or vice-versa—you'll be given the option to adjust all following speeches, so that two speeches are not assigned the same number.
