back then they may have been used to this sort of formatting I guess. Also there was a stage director who was at the preparations, so they would have discussed this with them, and I'm not really sure they read from this script anyway.
you still have not gotten the hang of it I'm afraid. Maybe I explained it badly
The problem usually lies with the "aside", because the other directions are mostly in the right position. Here it was often very clear that the name needs to be included, because the actor only spoke one sentence, so the aside needed to be put at the beginning, there was no dilemma there. Still you forgot the names.
So, going forward, maybe this is easier:

one sentence: the
name needs to be included with the aside

more sentences, you need to
check what makes more sense to be spoken as aside. If it's the first sentence, name needs to be included
Well, I listed them all now, the
names that need to be included:
> at 0:55: (p. 227) "Lovely, aside"
> at 2:58: (p. 230) "Sir James, aside"
> at 3:05: (p. 230) "Mrs Sago, aside"
> at 3:11: (p. 230) Mrs Sago, in an uneasy air"
> at 3:18 (p. 230) "Lady Lucy, aside"
> at 4:15: (p. 232) Alpiew, whispers her lady"
> at 4:22: (p. 232) "Sir James, aside"
> at 5:34: (p. 235) "Lord Worthy aside"
> at 5:47: (p. 235) "Buckle aside"
> at 5:59: (p. 236) "Buckle aside"
> at 6:06: (p. 236) "Alpiew aside"
> at 6:12: (p. 236) "Buckle aside"
> at 6:24: (p. 236) "Lady Reveller aside"
> at 6:37: (p. 236) "Buckle aside"
and
one sentence cut:
> at 5:15: (p. 235) "as Buckkle goes out enter lord Worthy" - good call to repeat the name here, so you can
delete the version where you only say "he"
thanks
