Andrei!!

I was asking in the "DAX-thread" about a fix for indicating if I have entered lyrics/notes to a specific track.

As this template didn't work for me (couldn't open it in the editor) I raise my question to you.

Would you be so kind and implement this feature in the program.

You could create two check boxes under "Track Properties", one for "Lyrics" and another for "Personal Notes". When checked, it could indicate right next to (each) track, with the letters "L" & "N".

This feature could be activated/de-activated under "View -> Preferences -> Theme"

You can do this with a search.

Lyrics is empty AND
Instrumental is not checked

I also tag my songs with an '=' in the name when I've entered lyrics but haven't verified that they are correct. I often get lyrics from websites, and you'd be astonished (or maybe not) at how often they are subtly incorrect. That'd be

Track Title contains = OR
Lyrics is empty AND
Instrumental is not checked

I chose the = as a symbol unlikely to actually appear in a track title. So far, it hasn't.

If you want to show it in a theme, use <dax:trackinstrumental> and/or <dax:lyrics> to access the same information.
