Compile Step: Additional Compile options needed #320

What should this step do?
There needs to be a way to eliminate titles from scene files, but allow them for Part files and Chapter heading files.

For example, a Part 1 file or a Chapter 1 file should be able to retain its title, with prefix and autonumbering, while a scene file should be able to be titleless.

This is a deal-breaker for me in switching from Scrivener. Congrats on all you've done to make Longform truly usable, but this IMO is also needed.


For info, my novel structure less frontmatter is below (line separators means new file):

Part 1 [autonumbered]
Epigram in same file

Chapter 1 [autonumbered, with or without prefix / title)

Scene (untitled, no new page)

Scene (untitled, no new page)

etc.

This compiles as you would imagine in Scrivener — a page for the Part and epigram, a new page for the Chapter title/number AND the untitled scenes that follow. New pages for new chapters and new parts.
