TIP
Use this to enter musical section names (some are pro-
vided, but if you’re recording classical pieces, phrases like
Allegro
might be useful).
You can also add the names of special instruments that
you record a lot (for some people, the user word
Bagpipes
might be more useful than
Bass
).
You might even want to add the names of the musicians
you record a lot so you can use these names to make titles
like
Joe solo
.
