Now these features are shared by all scribes, with the notable exception of scribe 4.

For scribes 1, 2, 3 and 5, these features occur on several pages, and the number of pages is roughly proportional to the total number of pages written by each of the scribes. The only anomaly is that the so-called titles are only used by scribe 1.

Scribe 4 has only a little bit of 'text in paragraphs', so that might explain the complete lack for him.

The summary is that this does not seem to have been something that was a personal choice of the scribe, but was somehow agreed or prescribed.
