1) Create Piano score called 'Testin' (as it is).
2) Change the title to 'Testing' (adding the letter G).
3) Click 'Save As'.

Expected result: The file name should be whatever the current title is on the score.
Actual result: The title you initially chose for the score is there.

Not a full-blown bug, but something that could perhaps be changed.

What do you think?

I think its too tricky. There is no special meaning of the title text in the score. Its an arbitrary text with the title style. There may be more than one title text in the score (or no).

OK.

Can it be a feature request though for the future (if it was worked out how to implement it)?

Is it possible to use the first Title in the score (first Text with subtype "Title")?

        <Text>
          <style>Title</style>
          <subtype>Title</subtype>
          <text>Bilder einer Ausstellung</text>
          </Text>

If there is no Title then fall back on "Untitled".

But isn't the point to use the latest, rather than the first title?

Perhaps I misunderstand?

I would rather the file name stay the same. If I want a different name, I can save it as such, but I would prefer that the program not do such a thing automatically.

cheng lung, Sorry for using an ambiguous word. I meant first as in "nearest the top of the page." Not first as in "original." I was recommending that we use whatever title appears in the score nearest the top of the page.

Xavierjazz, We are not talking about changing the file name automatically. We are just talking about the suggested file name that appears in the Save As dialog the first time you save a score. This is similar to how Microsoft Words uses the first phrase from your document as a suggested file name when you save a new word document for the first time.
