Score Editor Instrument Names

Hello.

I have a basic strings set up Violin 1 & 2, Violas, Cellos, Basses.
Because I’m playing around with different voicing and instruments I ended up having around 11 MIDI tracks (2 per each section or so…). Now…
Score editor display it as Treble staff 1-6, Bass staff 1-3, Bass Guitar (??where did that come from??) 1-2 instead of the actual track names.
If I move it to actual instrument tracks then it shows it as Strings staff 1-11.

How do I set it up so it displays the actual MIDI track name instead of some random name?
The same project opened in C13 displays it all correctly with correct names.
How do I set the C14 Score Editor to work like the C13 one?

Thanks

Edit: PS:
I know I can change the names of each track in settings but why should I?
It worked before…

Alas, there is no way to get our track names displayed at the moment, and the only option is the auto-name feature or manually rename them on our own.

Anyway I really need track names too and I’ve annoyed the devs about this in several threads already. Hopefully it’s something we’ll see in an update.

I would really much prefer track names too. It drives me crazy having to change it manually all the time. It makes odd guesses such as bass flute which I’ve seen labelled as “bass guitar.” I actually think it sees the word bass for any instrument and just assumes you mean a bass guitar lol.

This becomes even less helpful when working with hybrid/texture type libraries which don’t really use traditional instrument names, but rather stuff like “woodwind evos” or “fragile strings,” so I would rather just see what I am calling them on the track.
