Edit Name List

Staff Dialog, Edit Name List

Purpose

Use Edit Name List to change the list of limb names that is available when changing a limb or a limb group name in the Staff Dialog.

When you type a limb name that is not in the list it will be automatically added to the list. Unfortunately EW Notator cannot recognize misspelled names, so some unwanted words may in time be accidentally added to the list. You can delete these words with the Edit Name List command.

You can also change the default behavior for displaying abbreviated limb names. Usually EW Notator displays the first letter of each word in an abbreviated limb name followed by a colon. You can choose another abbreviation for each name in the list if you wish.

Note: Changing the name list has no effect on the limb names you chose in the current or any other document. However, changing abbreviations may change the way the abbreviations of some limb names are displayed.

Steps

1. In the Staff Dialog choose Name List from the Edit menu.
2. Select a name you want to edit.
3. To change a (e.g. misspelled) name,
   in the Full Name column type the new name over the old one.

   To change an abbreviation,
   in the Initials column type a new abbreviation.

   To add a name to the list,
   choose Add Name, then type a new name.

   To delete a name from the list,
   choose Delete Name.

4. Choose OK.
