I have songs from several groups that have a number plus a title.
When I scanned the music I named them Number Title Part, for example 22 El Gato Mondes 1. That may have been short sighted because it's a problem trying to make or edit a setlist for a gig quickly.
Search works fine if I know the number or even a piece of the name, but search doesn't work when I'm creating a setlist. (Unless I just haven't figured out how.) So in the setlist if a song starts with a number I have to scroll until I find it, and there are at least 199 entries before I get to number 2. Actually more than that because 3 of my groups number the pieces and there are duplicated numbers, and I may have number 127 from two bands each with 4 trombone parts but different titles etc.
Do I need to rename the pieces (nearly 1000 at this point) with name first?
How do others handle naming conventions?
