Yes, it's not very intuitive, but this is how names are displayed in scidb's
pgn window header.

Sounds reasonable, but how do you handle middle names ??
They possibly don't belong with the christian name, but are often used
in big databases to identify different players. Using two or three entry
widgets to input a name may become tiresome.
Another consideration is that Chinese names are written family name first.

Maybe it's best to use delete key to truncate trailing moves *or* delete a
variation,
but not both.
(I think Scid vs PC will adopt "delete" to truncate trailing moves
in the game, or variation).

Nothing seems intuitive to me, but "adding a text note" is reasonable.

PS. Scidb-beta throws am error when trying to open a ".sci" base that was
generated
by exporting my test sa.si4 database. Below is the log.
(... Suppose the error could be in my database).
