the "/" character is used by the OS (all OS's), and so can't be used in a file name. But you don't HAVE to. When I have parts that call for doubles (pit orchestra parts and big band parts mostly), I leave the default part names intact, and then go into "File Info" and put the detailed names with the ? and the () part name there. They will show up on the parts but will not confuse the computer. This is handy when the part name is "Woodwind 1 (Alto Sax/Flute/Piccolo)" though commas would work as well there. cd -- http://projectselene.com ======= Email scanned by PC Tools - No viruses or spyware found.
