-For streaming services,
-it's more common to display overlapping dialogue
-and differentiate between them with a hyphen.
-This effect can be somewhat emulated with ASS
-by setting the alignment to \an7 (top-left)

-This is not standard practice for Kaleido,
-and is discouraged unless there is a very good reason to do so.
