Description
Your idea
- A global ability to have all part names in the score synced with their names in the parts dialogue
- The option in an individual part to sync the name with the score
Behold my MS Paint mockup
Problem to be solved
First and foremost it could solve the bug I just encountered (again) where all part names in the parts dialogue reset to their MS defaults so I'll have to rename them all again :(
But in general, it would speed up the process of part naming when they're not the MS standard (which exactly none are for British brass band except the bass trombone)
