Should the "Title" of a score be linked to the file properties? Also, is there a way to insert composer/arranger that is linked? When I change the Title in the properties, the score still says Seq-1. Any ideas? Do you have do enter all this stuff manually (twice)?

Thanks

I think the titles etc under the file tab is for general score info. As a Sibelius file can contain more than one title (e.g. for separate movements or pieces), as well as different composers and so on it wouldn't necessarily make sense to have them linked to the file page.]

I normally only enter the title(s) as title text in the score and leave the title in the file tab blank. I only change the part name as this gives a convenient page header.
