OK, this is what happened.

1 - I was given a load of charts in Chordpro format.  Not really used to using these, but I decided to use them anyway.

2 - As supplied to me, these were named as follows;

Artist Name - Song Title.txt

3 - On the PC and using the excellent Total Commander file manager, I batch changed the extent to .cho.  I then swapped the name and title around, so I now had the files named;

Song Title - Artist Name.cho

4 - Again using Total Commander, I deleted the Artist and the files are now all;

Song Title.cho

5 - All these files (200+) were placed in a separate directory and was then copied to Dropbox for import into MSP. 

NB:  This had to be done this way as Companion appears to have some sort of bug when transferring from PC to tablet (see earlier post).

6 - I then set up a Collection (Chordpro) and imported the whole lot into it.  

NB:  I used a collection so that, if it all went wrong, it was easier to find and delete the mess.

7 - Bingo!  Everything seemed to work properly - until I looked at the files in the collection.  To my astonishment, they are all named;

Artist Name - Song Title

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?  I had removed the Artist info on the PC, a couple of days ago.  I name all my PDF's in a similar fashion and they work as expected.

Obviously, somewhere in the file structure this information must still exist, but where - and how to get rid of it?
