Oh, irony of ironies! Gee, I feel like I should have a better Shakespearean way of saying that.
So when I first posted my query here, in particular about that whole line indenting issue, I had yet to get started on working on any of the plays, I was just planning for "what was to come," based on my recollections of having read them. I hadn't quite decided at that time yet, either, whether to use the original spellings, etc. of the First Folio, or go with a more modernized version. In the end, though, after reading up a bit about it here and there in various articles on the 'net, I opted to go with the original spellings -- partially for authenticity's sake, as well as because I do have a personal affection for "ye olde Englishe bookes" and antiquarian books in general, and thought that would be both fun to work on, as well as to read (for me, at least).
Well! Wouldn't ya know it, once I got working on it -- comparing the digitized text I'd found of the First Folio edition wit high-resolution scans of the same (all freely available on the 'net) -- I discovered that in that first, original edition
none of the lines were indented anyway!
Go figure.
So in that sense my initial query here was moot -- although hopefully it hasn't been for nought, of course, and it's still been interesting to explore these issues, even if we never really did come to any particularly "definitive" solution(s).
And there's certainly been some nifty ideas brought up that might well come in very handy in some other context in the future, and so for that I do want to express my great appreciation to you all for your help!
Thanks so much, everybody!
