Can't do anything with AV Scripts or Multicolumn Scripts

Have a script for an animation, written in AV format, so that specific shots and dialog can be sync'd. However, I can't generate any lists or reports anything from this AV script. Want to make a breakdown of all locations, all characters, and all other tagged assets (I can't tag anything in this format either). Is this going to be addressed or do I have to duplicate work by writing things out in a screenplay or teleplay format (less useful for this type of project) just to get the breakdowns created? If I do have to do the latter, is there a way to convert AV to screenplay without just retyping the whole thing?

Ignore Source Out Point doesn't work?

So, I've got an in and out selected in my sequence, and an in and out selected in source window. I hit my overwrite edit key (B, cuz I'm an old-skool Avid mofo). And it brings up a window asking me how I want to perform this edit. Well, I'd like to ignore the source out point, of course, since that's how 4-point editing has always worked forever. So I click ignore source out point. And what happens? It ignores the source out point all right, but it also seems to ignore the SEQUENCE outpoint, and I get a big chunk of footage I don't want slapped into (and over) my sequence.

I thought maybe it was operator error. So I tried again. Same issue.

So, maybe it has something to do with loading a sequence into the source monitor, I thought...

And I was right.

When I load a master clip into the source window, I can 4-point edit or 3-point edit like a champ. But when I load a sequence into my source monitor, everything starts breaking down. The ignore source out point option doesn't work. Also, the go to next edit and go to previous edit commands don't work within a sequence in the source monitor. I toggle to the program monitor (not using any single toggle button, because that feature doesn't exist yet, I have to have separate buttons to get me into each different palette, even though the two most common palettes are source and program) and the comands work fine.

Okay, so I guess my issue is: is working with sequences in the source monitor gonna get fixed? It's kind of a workflow destroyer if an editor has to only edit from clips, and not edit from their stringouts and cutdowns and selects and what have you.
