At the moment the "author" filed is very limited
if I want to credit words, music and arrangement to
three people I cant get it all in.
Is there a way around this or do I need to goto
the wish list ?
Yes, we can wish for better support for author information. But meanwhile you can use the Insert Text facility to put text wherever you want, including the top of the page. See the user tip at http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/composer/usertip2.htm#authleft for how to insert author info at the left side, but the idea can be extended to put it anywhere.
