5.18 Using the XStudio Music Search Dialog
The Music Search Dialog is a tool for quickly finding songs by cart number, song title or artist. Partial
match searches and a set of filtering and grouping functions are built in.
Music information displayed in this dialog comes from the XStudio music data
table, which is normally created by importing song information from a music
scheduling system export. If the music data table is empty, the dialog does not
display. See the topic on Music Data for information on exporting from a music
scheduling system and importing into XStudio.
To display the Music Search Dialog, select the menu item View | Show Music Search Dialog or use
the shortcut key [Ctrl-M].
At first launch, all current song data is loaded from the music table. The display is automatically
refreshed if the music data changes.
The upper portion of the display contains edit boxes and controls for searching the music. Searches
allow you to enter partial text, select the column to search, search for text starting at the beginning of
the field or anywhere in the field. You can also search backward, if desired.
Once located, songs can be dragged onto the log, onto a hot button or into the audio clipboard. [Left-
Click].on the song and hold the mouse button down. Drag the item to the desired target and release
the mouse button to drop the song.
Song information is displayed in tabular format - rows of information, each containing columns of
individual record fields (Cart Number, Title, Artist). The display of records can be manipulated in a
number of different ways to organize or limit information that is shown. Information can be sorted,
grouped and filtered for ease of working with or finding specific songs. Additionally, individual columns
in the table can be moved and resized to suit your needs.
For more information on working with tabular data displays in XStudio, see the
topic on Common Table Display Functionality.
As a default, the music information is sorted by Cart Number in ascending order. You can change the
sort order by clicking on a column header (e.g., "Title" column). Clicking on the column header a
second time sorts the column in descending order.
