Summary description: Typeset shared lines in dramatic verse
Announcement text:
The sharedline package provides a robust and flexible solution for typesetting shared lines in dramatic verse, such as in the plays of Shakespeare. It allows a single line of verse to be split across multiple speakers while maintaining perfect horizontal alignment, creating the visual effect of a single, continuous line of verse, keeping track of the width of previous verse segments in a convenient way.
