How to re-name parts in mixer?

• Feb 20, 2024 - 02:32

I imported an orchestral score and changed most of the instrumental parts to vocal parts. On the score, I was able to re-name the parts, but in the mixer, on the bottom row of blue windows, each one just below the "mute" and "solo" buttons, the old part names remain. How do I rename them? I've tried a lot of things, but ran out of ideas? Thanks in advance.

Screen shot attached, for clarity.

Got it. That worked. It's a little quirky, but it worked. I had entered "Tenor solo," "Soprano 1," Soprano 2," and so on. These got changed to just "Tenor," "Soprano," etc. I was able to go back to "Instruments" and re-enter Tenor Solo, Soprano 1, Soprano 2, and so on, along with their abbreviatons.

It worked. I'm not complaining.

This is ridiculous. When I'm looking in the mixer, I'm looking for the same name as in the score. If I rename 'Electric Guitar' to 'Guitar 1', that's the name I expect in the mixer. If you really have to have the same name stored deep in the bowels of the data somewhere, that's great (and it can be a GUID, for all I care). But for display purposes, the score and the mixer should match. (In fact, please use the short name rather than the full name.) If I add another one, I expect a different name. Instead, I wind up with two instruments named 'Electric Guitar' in the mixer!
