OK, this is what happened.
1 - I was given a load of charts in Chordpro format. Not really used to using these, but I decided to use them anyway.
2 - As supplied to me, these were named as follows;
Artist Name - Song Title.txt
3 - On the PC and using the excellent Total Commander file manager, I batch changed the extent to .cho. I then swapped the name and title around, so I now had the files named;
Song Title - Artist Name.cho
4 - Again using Total Commander, I deleted the Artist and the files are now all;
Song Title.cho
5 - All these files (200+) were placed in a separate directory and was then copied to Dropbox for import into MSP.
NB: This had to be done this way as Companion appears to have some sort of bug when transferring from PC to tablet (see earlier post).
6 - I then set up a Collection (Chordpro) and imported the whole lot into it.
NB: I used a collection so that, if it all went wrong, it was easier to find and delete the mess.
7 - Bingo! Everything seemed to work properly - until I looked at the files in the collection. To my astonishment, they are all named;
Artist Name - Song Title
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I had removed the Artist info on the PC, a couple of days ago. I name all my PDF's in a similar fashion and they work as expected.
Obviously, somewhere in the file structure this information must still exist, but where - and how to get rid of it?
