apologies for disappearing!! had a family emergency that i had to take care of..

and..thank you all very much for your kind answers!!!

so..i’m going for a non-sequential system of ‘notes’ where each paragraph has, as previously suggested as an example: “1.09” as the header. Then the next paragraph will have “1.10” as a header. This is kind of in the grey area of the: is this sequential or not sequential.

I think that Robert2’s suggestion is really very good - i think i’m going to try this!

“
But the most practical would probably be to remove the bulleting altogether and create a 2-column table with the numbers in the left column (a specific row for each specific number). The right column would include only the corresponding music labels.

many thanks again for your kind (and very good!) suggestions. if i run into any more difficulties...i’ll post again

cheers!
