Composer List Editor

Artist, Composer, Conductor, Orchestra/Band/Album Artist , and Encoder Settings List Editors

Access: Menu > Edit > Composer Editor, <Ctrl+Alt+U>, Speedbuton Toolbar button

These editors allow customization of drop-down lists appearing in corresponding columns in the Editor. The Composer Editor is shown as a typical example below. Others are quite similar. When a cell in one of these columns is selected, a drop-down list of possible values appears in the cell from which a listed entry can be chosen. Each column that implements one of these lists has an individual checkbox in Preferences which enables access to the list in the Editor when the respective cell type is entered. Most of the controls appearing on these editors, along with their functions, are similar to those described above for the Genre Editor.

Highlighting an entry places it in the edit box. You can edit the item then click the Update button to replace the original, or create a new item and click the Add button to have it added to the list. Each editor comes with a default list can be loaded with the Reset button. You can overwrite the default list with the list currently in view by using the Save As Default List button. The current list is automatically saved as the active list when the OK button is clicked. You can create an alternate list for recall later with the Save Copy button.

Copy and default lists for these editors are simple Unicode text files with one entry per line. They can be edited manually with a text editor if desired.
