I've just been reading through the documentation for the new v1.3 features. Repeatable regions will be very useful indeed. I have a Couch site live which has a Discography page - for now it is not updateable using Couch, but it is an ideal candidate for repeatable regions.
However each discography entry/repeatable region would consist of quite a number of editable regions: an image with an array of image links below it in the left column. In the right column there is a main heading, some sub headings, a quote and a quote source. Because I would like to ensure the styling remains consistent I would prefer to set these text items up as separate editable regions - so quite a few.
Have I understood the documentation correctly ...
Does this mean that all my editable regions will be shown in the admin panel in a single row? If so it may get a bit squashed ... or will the regions simply flow beneath when the col_width is exceeded?
Extra thought [added] ...
Before repeatable regions, I would have created a clonable template for a discography entry and then listed each one on the discography page. I wonder if in some circumstances this is still the preferred method?

Since all the editable regions forming the 'repeatable unit' appear side-by-side in a single row, you'll want to have more control over how wide individual region appears in a row.
