------Example---------- Start a new session with 'screen -S base' (which calls that session 'base'). Make a horizontal split with ^|, move into it with ^tab then create a new screen with ^c in that second split. The new screen can be named with ^A as 'music' before entering cmus. Next up, visualizations with vis in another screen. ^S makes a horizontal split and you can switch into that with ^tab to name is 'visualizations' and start vis. Switch back to the first screen and make another horizontal split and a screen in there with the name 'reading'. Inside reading you type ^? to get a list of useless screen commands. Reading can then be detatched with ^d and the horizontal split destroyed with ^X. Those visualizations should be larger, so we enlarge them with Ctrl+: to send the command resize 50 and :resize -h 100. Once done with reading, you can destroy it wil ^k then destroy the lot once done with ^. Outside the screens entirely you can ensure complete death with 'killall screen'.
