My first thought was that I'm glad you like my idea enough to follow it up. Broadly speaking, I think your proposal covers all the bases (certainly covers mine, others may have different requirements) and I await development of this feature with interest.

That said, while reading the second part of your post - referring to Jeff's question - it seems to me that MS is starting to lose its reason for existence, i.e. as an easy-to-use replacement for sheets of paper. While all of the features, both proposed and already implemented, are good within themselves, it does seem (to me, at least) that the interface is becoming more and more cluttered with options to do this, that or the other and we may be losing sight of the original purpose of the software.

What has to be borne in mind is that this software is mainly used at a time when there are a lot of other pressures on the user - normally while performing in front of an audience. The last thing anyone needs, at that time, is a bit of over-complicated software.

I think MS is a wonderful bit of software and it has totally changed the way I store and use music charts, much to my personal advantage. I just don't want to see it become 'bloatware', loaded with functions and an impenetrable interface that are of little use in the heat of the moment.

I suspect we've all experienced this happening with other softwares over the years. What started out as a simple solution to a need becomes so loaded with 'features' that it actually gets more difficult to use for the original purpose. There's a lot to be said for the KISS principle Smile .
