I propose we use hard-coded numbers for setlists and tracklisting, so that when one copies a list, they get the numbers too. This is uncoventional I know, but it drives me nuts when I copy a setlist and then have to renumber it. If we do it once, it will save others from having to type in the numbers following a cut and paste. | I propose we use hard-coded numbers for setlists and tracklisting, so that when one copies a list, they get the numbers too.

Track Numbering
I propose we use hard-coded numbers for setlists and tracklisting, so that when one copies a list, they get the numbers too. This is uncoventional I know, but it drives me nuts when I copy a setlist and then have to renumber it. If we do it once, it will save others from having to type in the numbers following a cut and paste.
I'd like to see us code it like this:
01. Still[br] 02. Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue[br] 03. Veronica[br] 04. Speak Darkly My Angel[br] 05. Almost Blue[br]
to get this:
01. Still
02. Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue
03. Veronica
04. Speak Darkly My Angel
05. Almost Blue
instead of the conventional way:
# Still # Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue # Veronica # Speak Darkly My Angel # Almost Blue
to get this:
- Still
- Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue
- Veronica
- Speak Darkly My Angel
- Almost Blue
(which, when you select with a mouse, does not grab the numbers)
