This is where I currently use collectons for.
Mike is working on a facility to support separate databases, which would be even more powerful in organizing. So you can have a databse for one choir, one for another, and so on,

Thanks for your replay, Johan
It seems Mike has some very interesting things going on with MobileSheets.
To answer you comment, I prefer not to use collections the way you suggested. For most part, I use collections for each of the productions I'm in, since collections has features that serves so well for that purpose.
The field Artist may in my opinion, be a good choise for choir/orchestra. Unfortunately, the old version of MobileSheets used Artist for composers/arrangers etc. I.e., I must edit this information, which at this point must me done manually. With 500+ sheets, that is rather time consuming. I tried using batch import, but the new version doesn’t try to guess composer/artist yet.

Can you not use the custom category for Orchestra/Choir? You can change the name in the settings and then use that field as you would like.
I am going to be adding a batch edit dialog to make it easier to modify multiple songs at once. Moving values from one category to another is not one I've committed to yet though because it doesn't make sense for any category except Artist->Composer that I've found. With a batch edit dialog, you could easily remove all of the artist values and then assign them all to a composer though, so that might be good enough.
