Tally Rehearsal Minutes Including Every Runthrough — Free
One scene at four runthroughs is not one scene. Multiply pages by your measured minutes per page by the number of full runthroughs, and see where rehearsal time actually goes.
The proof surface
Scene pacers fit one timeline of scenes into a runtime. This tallies workload with repetition: the same scene rehearsed four times costs four times, and the register shows the total bill.
Why the flat version breaks
Counting a scene once
Four runthroughs are four times the minutes, not one.
Using a generic minutes-per-page figure
Your pace is a measurement, not a constant.
Forgetting notes and resets
They are real minutes; log them separately.
How to work the runthrough tally roll
Run a scene you know and time it; the sample uses two minutes per page. Comedy, action and dense text differ — measure your own material rather than borrowing a rule of thumb.
Notes, resets and partial top-and-tails are separate work; count only complete passes in this column. The opening scene at five pages runs ten minutes per pass, four passes, forty minutes.
The act finale is twenty-four minutes per pass; two passes make it the largest single row in the alternate sample. The total — sixty-six minutes there — is the arithmetic sum of every listed pass.
Cut a runthrough and watch the total move; that is the conversation the tally exists to start. Timing notes, line-runs and tech are not modelled — add them as their own rows or their own plan.
What the runthrough tally roll replaces
| Question | Before | Visible working |
|---|---|---|
| Counting a scene once | Four runthroughs are four times the minutes, not one. | Count the full runthroughs you plan |
| Using a generic minutes-per-page figure | Your pace is a measurement, not a constant. | Let the register show the expensive scene |
| Forgetting notes and resets | They are real minutes; log them separately. | Re-run when the plan changes |
A local arithmetic aid replaces hand calculation, not expert review. No paid AI service is needed.

FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Rehearsal planning arithmetic on a pace you measure. Not a scheduling guarantee; notes, resets, tech and human variation all sit outside the tally.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the runthrough tally roll: your scene | pages | full runthroughs stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a bound register page
The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the runthrough tally roll reading, and holds your drafts on this device — one free run, then $ 4 one-time for the layer that keeps filing.
The runthrough tally roll reading is complete for free. The optional $4 layer adds print, row CSV and the last five local reading summaries; it does not add hidden answers. Checkout is not configured yet; the article demo remains unlimited.

What this is built on
- Method: The act finale is twenty-four minutes per pass; two passes make it the largest single row in the alternate sample. The total — sixty-six minutes there — is the arithmetic sum of every listed pass.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-28, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Before: Four runthroughs are four times the minutes, not one. After: the runthrough tally roll shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this runthrough tally roll, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a runthrough tally roll. Return plain rows only: scene | pages | full runthroughs. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: scene | pages | full runthroughs. No AI response is executed as code.
