Brian116-Adding author types
Does anyone know how to expand on the 'author-types'? I would like to add additional categories but I can't seem to find where the listing is. I have edited the song database and found the author_type table but I can't seem to find the list of items, such as 'words', 'music', 'words and music', 'translation'. I would like to add categories such as 'arranged'. As I type in songs from my hymnal some of the songs will have a composer plus an arranger. Any help would be great.

Hey @Brian116
They are hard-coded in openlp/plugins/songs/lib/db.py so that they can be translated, but they are literally just saved to the database as strings.
I have created a feature request for adding custom author types.
So I take it just adding the options to the list in the db.py file won't work?????
If you're running from source (or on Linux), that might work. Windows and Mac OS are compiled systems, and editing db.py won't do anything.
