OK, I see what you are saying. The first thing in the layout is the
default.

A further note on the page breaks. The rationale behind the script
format is to make it easy read, and easy to modify. Pages get ripped
out, moved, and rewritten on the fly, with no respect for the original
author. That is why broadway is so much different from hollywood. The
playwrite has rights.
A script first goes to triage readers and the first thing they look at
is the form. They might have 200 scripts on their desk. Too little
whitespace and its in the trash. Wrong font, in the trash. Coloured
binder, in the trash. Great, now I only have 10 scripts that I actually
have to read.
