A couple of things Graeme. First off, with text files, the default behavior is to use metadata inside the file to populated song fields such as title, artist, key, etc. You can disable this by going to Settings->Text File Settings and unchecking "Use Text Fields During Song Creation".  Second, you are correct that there is an error with the parsing of the title if an explicit title isn't provided. The reason it didn't use {key} as the title is that {key} is a supported command that is recognized, so it knew not to use it as a title. preferred_key is not a supported field, so it used it as the title. I've now added code that will not use a line as the title if it contains any keywords inside braces.   This still would result in an odd behavior though, so it's always best if a title is provided on the first line.

Thanks for that info Mike.  As you must have realised, this is my first real excursion into Chordpro files or, for that matter, text files, as I have always converted the few text files I do use to PDF before loading into MSP.

I removed the whole lot from the Library, modified the Settings menu as you have suggested and re-imported them again.  I told it to use the filename as the title.

THIS HAS MADE NO DIFFERENCE - I am still seeing the display as Artist Name - Song Title!

Attached are screenshots of my Settings and the resultant Collection display.  Either I am doing it incorrectly or something is broken.
