Gentlemen:  How much work is involved in changing the position of 2 fields on 
the RDAirplay screen?  

Situation:  I am a creature of old automation habits where we are 
over-programming "reels" of music as carts in music hours.  Rivendell has 3 
fields showing in the boxes on the left:  "Title", "Artist", and "Description". 
 But right now "Title" contains for us the name of the "reel" (eg. Instrumental 
#3).  Since the carts contain music from many original albums/CDs the "Artist" 
is always "Various".  This forces us to put the actual title and artist for a 
selection into the "Description" field.  But this field gets truncated on the 
screen and is a problem for operators to read and decypher.  

We do not have an external music scheduler.  Just an EVENT sequence of about 8 
carts per quarter-hour which rotates through the music.  Is it possible to flip 
the "Description" and "Title" field displays on the screen without risking a 
major crash of the system?  Failing this, how have some of you who program 
music this way gotten around the problem?  I may be an "old dog", but I am 
willing to learn "new tricks" since we are not yet overwhelmingly entrenched 
with the music we have loaded.  Somebody please help me break my thinking 
outside the box.  Thanks in advance.
