I think I understand the problem and your question (although if this response is way
off the mark, then maybe I don't). It seems to me you could use Scrivener to compose your
five strands, but the pieces that are to be "surfaced" get a certain keyword so that you
can then use a collection to pull those all together into the narrative. Does that make
any sense? (I think the Windows version does collections, but I'm home and away from my
PC, so I'm not 100% sure.)

Thanks Steve. Your explanation makes good sense, though the first time I looked at Collections I didn't quite get what they were for. But I will take another look.
