Spanish term or phrase: TR a
Es un comentario que aparece varias veces en el guión de una película. Se me ocurre que podría significar transición, pero no estoy segura, ni sé si existe algún termino específico de la jerga cinematográfica. Les pongo algunos ejemplos. Mil gracias de nuevo por sus respuestas.

"Imposible, señor... (**TR A** APLOMADO) Dígame qué quiere que haga, señor. Yo no le tengo miedo al crimen, lo que temo es la miseria, señor."

"¡No sabía que su hija era tan simpática, General! (**TR A** JUANA) ¿No me diga que su padre jamás le ha llevado a recorrer el Palacio? (SE PONE DE PIE Y LE VUELVE A AGARRAR LA MANO A JUANA) Pero eso hay que solventarlo de inmediato. Permítame hacerle el tour..."

"FULANITO: (FALSAMENTE INDIGNADO)
¡Es increíble! Alguien a quien le confié todo, ¡todo! Que no bien pone un pie en suelo extranjero se desaparece sin importarle lo que deja atrás: su patria, su trabajo (LE TOMA LAS MANOS) su amor... (LE SUELTA LAS MANOS Y SE PONE DE PIE OTRA VEZ OFENDIDO) ¡Es inadmisible! (**TR A** TIERNO) Lo siento tanto por usted, mi dulce Juanita."

Explanation:
Thanks for the explanation. As I suspected! I didn't look carefully in the beginning. In each case there does seem to be a transition. Below is a glossary definition of "transition" in film-making (this glossary might help you with some of your other terms):

Transition
These describe the style in which one scene becomes the next. Used appropriately, these can be used to convey **shifts in character development and emotion**. In other words, a CUT TO: is not required at every scene change. Some major transitions include CUT TO:, DISSOLVE TO:, MATCH CUT TO:, JUMP CUT TO:, SMASH CUT TO:, WIPE TO:, and FADE TO:. Each term has it's own entry in this list of terms. Occasionally a writer will make up his own transition. In these cases, the transition is usually self-defined (such as BRIGHT WHITE FLASH TO: suggests whiteness will fill the screen for a brief moment as we pass into the next scene). For formatting info on transitions, see the Format page.
