Help me index a collection of simple songs
I'm writing a series of simple little songs for use in worship in our tiny church. None of them is longer than 32 bars, so I don't want to put each one in its own file. I'm trying to put them in one file as sections in no particular order, searchable by title. My best guess is that when I'm well along in the work, there will be 20-50 songs in the file. Right now I've been placing the title of the song in text frames, but I'm not able yet to figure out how to search for the text. I'm just beginning to build the collection, so I'm free to rebuild it using whatever structure makes sense.
I've attached the file in case it's helpful.

Use rehearsal marks in each 1st measure using the song titles, optionally make them invisibble.
Then it is Ctrl+F, M'title' to search

Brilliant. Works great. I'll just pick up that rehearsal mark, center it on the page manually, and make it the song title. Yay! Thank you, JoJo!
Export to pdf. Assemble into a single pdf (e.g. using PDFBinder or similar). Use the search function of a pdf reader.
Musescore a) can't do the assembly step (or not easily anyway); b) doesn't have a general text search function.
