Word count per revision pass?

   I haven't done a pass yet, but going by the docs each pass belongs to the chapter you open it in, so I'd guess the numbers are per chapter too.

   Targets & Writing History might get you there another way? It shows words written and words cut. Haven't tested it, so don't quote me.

   Priya's right on the first part. A pass belongs to the chapter it was started in, and its checkpoint comparison shows words inserted and removed for that chapter. All chapters in the Revision Passes drawer lists your passes across the book, but there's no added-up total across them.

   Closest you can get today:

   1. Open Targets & Writing History and set a sprint with the start and finish dates of your pacing pass.

   2. Have it measure words touched rather than new words, so everything you cut counts towards it.

   3. Today's work shows as words written and words cut either side of a centre line, and your revision passes show as bands under the year calendar.

   The catch: a sprint counts all your writing on those dates, not only the pass. If the week is pure pacing work, it'll be close.

   A book-wide total for a pass is a fair request. Noted.
