Hello, I used Aeon Timeline 2 a lot in the past and love it, so I just upgraded to Aeon Timeline 3 to sync with Scrivener. I’ve been out of the loop for a while and pretty much forgot how to do everything so I apologize if this is an easy question. I did try to search for it but couldn’t find the ex…

My understanding is that AT3 does not have the capability of two or more timelines. I’ve seen others request it here, but there has been no indication that the developers are pursuing this feature.

Thank you for your response. I have see that alternative timeline exists, so Ill probably have to do that and kind of just do math for each date. I wish I didn’t have to do that math, but I can’t exactly sync the book to two different time lines, I don’t think?

If there’s an exact matching of days, then it’s possible for every day in the timeline to carry both names - eg Month 3 Day 20; Month 4 Day 6. Clumsy but would work. But wouldn’t address what I imagine would be a more common situation of worlds with different numbers of days.

Thank you for all that information that was incredibly insightful and for taking the time to explain how it would work. Though sad that there isn’t much of a chance to make it easier for people to have access to. So, I was doing one world with a solar calendar (like the gregorian calendar) and one …

What you can do in any case: Define an event property, e.g. “parallel world date”, which you can fill in manually as long as you don’t have a helper program. If it’s just a few key events that affect both of your worlds, that should work just fine. For the conversion, you can make a reference table…

Point well taken. I’ve offered an idea here.
