Hi David,
Thanks for the suggestion and the specification
We do have a task for a way to have "conductor's text" items. Your nice summary statement will help with that implementation
Part of the question regarding implementation is where does it make the most sense (and intuitiveness) to add that aspect of the feature? We're open to thoughts and suggestions about that because we often find that different folks look for such "hybrid" features in different places. In the current case, "Free text" is a whole different tool than "Page Text". Let us know what y'all (that's plural ; ) ) think.
ttfn,
Sherry
