Hi Christopher, You’re a genius! It never occurred to me that you could add leading or trailing characters in that box, but, sure enough, it works. I had thought that to accomplish this you’d need to be able to do something along those lines (as with measure numbers) but didn’t realize it was possible with the auto-sequencing letters/numbers. Thank you!
