+==='advanced options' : choosing a non-standard scene transition===
+If you check the box entitled 'advanced options', you get two choices for non-standard transitions.  This means you can choose different transitions for how your scene will be recalled when the user clicks on the green scene link. Here's the breakdown of transition options:
+# If you don't check off any box (i.e. do not check off "show advanced options") then the most basic and standard transition will be used : when the scene is recalled, the molecule will zoom out to 100% zoom, rotate to the new scene's orientation, and then zoom to the new scene's correct zoom.
+# If you check off "show advanced options" you then have two advanced options to choose from:
+## If you then check off "skip the zoom-out when this scene loads" then the transition will be the same as the basic transition except the zoom-out to 100% zoom will be skipped : when the scene is recalled, the molecule will rotate to the new scene's orientation and zoom simultaneously.
+## If instead you check off "skip the transition between scenes when this scene loads" then the new scene will just immediately load, without any transition from the previous scene.
+Option 1 is the standard.  Option 2a is helpful when the view is not changing much and you don't want the scene to zoom out completely when transitioning between scenes.  Option 1 is helpful when zooming out completely is necessary to give the user proper spatial comprehension when transitioning between two scenes.  Option 3 is helpful when you really need to have no transition at all (although it should be rarely used except for extreme cases where you really need no transition).
