Description
Your idea
I think it would be helpful if we could change the default setting for naming parts.
Currently, it always follows this pattern:
Trumpet 1, Trumpet 2, Trumpet 3
Good alternatives would be:
Roman numerals: Trumpet I, Trumpet II, Trumpet III
Ordinal numbers: 1st Trumpet, 2nd Trumpet, 3rd Trumpet (adapted to the language, of course, e.g., French: 1ère trompette, 2e trompette, 3e trompette, German: 1. Trompete, 2. Trompete, 3. Trompete)
Problem to be solved
Eliminates the need for manual renaming
