Title formatting only partially works
#1
Hi, I'm thinking this must be a bug in the Companion. If it did not do any title formatting I would have just assumed that's how it worked, but it seems to do some formatting, meaning there must have been some attempt to make it work Smile . Here is what I am seeing: I have set my title formatting to %COMPOSERS%: %COLLECTIONS% %TITLE% %CUSTOM_GROUPS%

I have a collection called "String Quartet", and I use custom_groups to indicate the instrument. Let's say I add the 4 parts to Beethoven's String Quartet No. 1 in F to my library. The title of all four parts is "No. 1 in F", and the 4 instruments are Violin1, Violin2, Viola, Cello. This works fine in MS and I see:

Beethoven: String Quartet No. 1 in F Cello
Beethoven: String Quartet No. 1 in F Viola
Beethoven: String Quartet No. 1 in F Violin1
Beethoven: String Quartet No. 1 in F Violin2

But in MS Companion, it looks like it is only picking up the first field, my colon (":"), and then the title. I see this:

Beethoven: No. 1 in F
Beethoven: No. 1 in F
Beethoven: No. 1 in F
Beethoven: No. 1 in F

So Companion is picking up %COMPOSER% and the colon, but then losing the rest of my format, and adding the title by default? Or something like that. It's not a huge problem as I can tell what is what in Companion by adding another display column for custom_groups. But it appears that Companion is looking at my format "to some extent", but missing the whole picture.
