I have a problem in setting up my library to accommodate my needs. There are four different instrument settings, each with their own PDF.
I also have three different types Scottish, Irish and Modern. so Ideally I want to store my Library with 4 versions of the same tune to allow to select the following:
Guitar - Scottish, Irish, Modern
Guitar Harmony - Scottish, Irish, Modern
Tenor - Scottish, Irish, Modern
Mandolin - Scottish, Irish, Modern
any ideas on how to achieve this, as I have been trying for sometime to get this right without much success.

Maybe?
PDF or song name=Song xyz G [G search would include GH]
=Song xyz H [GH search would include G]
=Song xyz T
=Song xyz M
These names could be done in the import or edit step.
Genre=Scottish, Irish, Modern as required.
The negative is there could be as many as 12 versions shown in the library and + 4 for each additional genre.
When Mike gets to song versioning update this may be editable.
Edit" for typo, all song names the same except for G, H, T, M.

As @Skip says, you're going to have to name each PDF of the song with an instrument tag that differentiates it, but I wouldn't use the same letter for any:
Song Name G for the guitar
Song Name H for the guitar harmony
Song Name T for the tenor
Song Name M for the mandolin
Can you clarify what you want to find when you're ready to play, like just the guitar Scottish version, or do you want to find all the instruments for the Scottish version?

Hi,
I am using the Field „Custom2“ for the Instrument. Then I added it to the Song Title Formatting.
Additionally I Can Filter on that Field to just Show the Instrument I would Like to see.
Maybe that fits for you as well
Regards,
Stephan

Thanks for all the feedback. Yes adding the instrument to each song title works well for me
