Editing Pace
Rhythm & Flow controls sentence structure and reading tempo: choppy quick cuts that create urgency, or flowing continuous prose that carries the reader forward.
Think of it like film editing: Level 1 = Quick Cuts—short punchy fragments. Level 10 = Long Takes—flowing sentences that never break.
Same story. Same voice. Watch how sentence structure transforms: 14 fragments (choppy) vs flowing musical prose. Romance Fiction
Starting point: Five sentences of similar length. Even, predictable tempo. Now watch how Rhythm & Flow transforms this into choppy urgency or flowing momentum.
Rhythm: Staccato fragments. "Emma waits. Nervous. Jake's coming." Each beat hits and stops. 14 fragments in 28 words. Like rapid-fire jump cuts—maximum tension, urgent pacing. Voice Clarity drops to 85% because extreme settings intentionally deviate from your baseline.
Rhythm: Musical, flowing prose. "Heart a drum, a wild rhythm, a symphony"—"crescendo"—"tangled notes"—"find harmony." The sentence structure itself becomes musical. Commas and dashes create continuous momentum. Voice Clarity at 88% reflects intentional deviation from baseline.
Rhythm & Flow controls HOW the reader experiences time passing.
Level 1 = Quick cuts (28 words, 14 fragments, urgent staccato)
Level 10 = Long takes (97 words, flowing musical prose)
You decide the tempo. Chase scene? Quick cuts. Romantic moment? Let it flow. That's editing control.
About Voice Clarity: The Romance Fiction preset is calibrated for optimal voice preservation. When you push sliders to extreme positions (1 or 10), Voice Clarity drops—that's intentional. The Equalizer measures how far you've deviated from your baseline voice, so you always know. That's not a flaw. That's integrity.
