Question:
How to remove multiple artist listings in the Songbook
Answer:
Open Hoster and follow these steps.
- Go to the Tools Menu Edit Songs command
- Enter * in the Search for: field
- Click only the Artist button below and click the Search button
- When all entries appear in the window below, click on the Artist column title (Artist) to order the songs alphabetically
- When you scroll down and see duplicate Artist names, click one, click into the Artist field and remove any spaces before or after the name
- Also, if you have “Firstname Lastname” order, change them to “Lastname, Firstname” so they will format correctly in your Songbook
- Do this for all duplicates you find, clicking the Apply button after each change
- Every once in a while you may want to click the Search button again to refresh the window contents
