Title: TAGS(2)
Post by: ParagonOpus1 on December 15, 2021, 05:46:26 PM
Is the only way to reach these through edit and by clicking on the Tags (2) tab? Sounds like a silly question, but I am trying to streamline manual data input, and the more tabs I have to click, the longer it takes. I only need a couple additional tags for orchestra and soloist and would love to be able to force them to show up on the Tags tab, but I am assuming that Tags (2) are additional tags added by Music Bee, so that is not appropriate?

Also, can Tags (2) be defined textually for what they refer to, or is it just custom1, etc? In other words, can you label custom1 to 'orchestra', etc.?

Kind of.

v3.2 has vertical tag editor where you can customize tag arrangement.

Go to View> Arrange Panels, find the element from the available elements list, and drag and drop it to a side bar or panel.
Then click on "Tag Editor" button, run "Set displayed fields" menu, and add fields in an order to your liking.

You can assign the Vertical Tag Editor to a hotkey for faster access.
