Hello Fulvio,
you are right, pre move comments make sense only in certain situations. In a
normal case without variations you cannot even decide whether a comment is a
pre- or post move one.
But I can make my point more obvious:

Yes, and I believe it led to a nighmarish behavior whereby as soon as you
edited the game, the cursor was lost. Considering that correspondence

I stand corrected.
One problem I see with writing comments like that in SCID is that you need
to be sure of your line order, for as soon as you reorder them, the text
need to be corrected too.
In general, I advise against writing circumvoluted game commentaries. At
least unti

Of course it is:

Fulvio can chime in, but I'm not sure it will be easy, since it seems to
involve modifying the SCID format. Moreover, how this gets translated into
PGN is far from obvious to me.
Readability issues also surfaces when you

The comment editor wouldn't need two input boxes. Just a simple radio
button for before or after move.
These types of annotations are very common at the chessbase website,
probably because chessbase makes it easy within the software.
Here's a screenshot of one I just went to their website and fo

Hi again,
Thanks for your answer.
Firstly, I'm sorry but I didn’t know anything about ‘Scidb’. It seems
a great project, so much better than current Scid and, in my opinion,
it looks like Chessbase (so much professional). I will try to compile
it when I download from its web.
