Names of channels in Mixer, and suffixes on saved PDF filenames

• Jan 16, 2025 - 00:19

The "Name" shown at the bottom of each channel in the mixer is shown as "Violin", "Violin 2", "Violoncello", "Violoncello 2".

What would be BETTER? If it used the "Name on Main Score" field that I set in the Instruments pane, e.g., "Violin GV" (for playing the piece with guitar and violin), "Violin GVC" (guitar, violin and cello), "Cello GC" (guitar and cello), "Cello GVC" (guitar, violin and cello).

The same fault occurs in exporting PDFs. The separate parts are saved as (for instance) "Song Name-Violoncello.pdf". I'd like to see them as "Song Name-Cello GC.pdf" (etc).

I use these filenames to create scores that reflect the practical realities of performing at many levels -- you have no idea whether you will get everyone out there, and you might have a few variable ensemble complements that you've authored.
