    • A program for mass editing?

    • Jun 14, 2012 2:19:02 PM UTC

    Hey all,

    I‘ve decided to edit and “fix“ all of the mislabelled and misspelled songs from a certain artist, and I‘m finding it exhausting to do so manually, when they‘ve been performing for over ten years. Is there a program that would let me mass edit every copy of a song through-out a band‘s history? Like, I could select the “A Minute without You (4)“ song, change it to be “A Minute Without You”, and when I press save, it‘d go through all 4 setlists that have it in the former way, and edit them to be the latter.

    Thanks either way!

    This feature is currently only available for Moderators and Admins. Feel free to report the songs in this thread (which is in the wrong forum btw ;-)).

    cheers

    ha Sorry for the wrong subforum. I thought since this was focused on the API, someone might have used it for something like this.

    Did you mean, give you a list of all the names that should be changed, and what to change them to? Cuz I can do that!

    Thanks so much for the quick response!

    The Firedbird Suite needs to be edited into a taped excerpt.

    Same goes for The Young Person‘s Guide to the Orchestra, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

    This mass edit is for yes setlists. Thanks.
