I'm having a problem where when I go to edit an individual part the instrument name isn't listed on the part. (Yes the instruments names are listed in the score manager)
I'm guessing it's a "settings" issue, I've never had this problem before, but I have no idea where to look/click
Thanks!

Do you mean that the name of the part doesn't display on the page? You need to create a Text block and use the Insert Score/Part Name field.
Add it to the Score, so it will appear in all the Linked Parts. You can then unlink it and hide it in the Score, leaving it visible in each part.

Document/Manage Parts/Edit Part Definition/Edit Part Name. Do this to Make sure the part name is as you want it. Then insert the text as suggested in the last post.

BUT
When I create a text block I can't find the Insert Score/Part name field option -- how do I get to that?
Thanks
