Swap First And Last Name Of Artist

[ironma1den]

hi i was wondering if there was a setting to automatically
swap the artist name...when i imported songs it displays them last name first and first name last...i would like to have first name first without the comma.
It takes lots of time just to swap the first and last name around and i was just wondering if there was a setting to auto do it. If not i can continue this way thx for any help.

There is no setting for this. However if you are looking to print your books that way, the songbook creator dialog does give you the option to have first name then last last.
This format for MTU was decided many years back by consensus of the users. There is no way for them to add the option you are asking for as the Artist is all one field.

Most often in search all you have to do is type in one or the other. I have some songs such as folsom prison blues, fols will get it. Alan, will get you all of Alan Jackson, alan parsons project, alanis morrisette, but alan will be first. I have several singers I add their names to songs artist section in edit mode and they all come up. Just a few of the things that help, on a busy night.
