Ah, well, it doesn't sound like quite a good tool to use then. Still, 
seeing as it's offered along with LibreOffice, may as well take a peek 
at it and see if it could be made to work. I am trying to keep the 
spreadsheet as simple as possible so that other musicians may make use 
of it.

Strange then, that we would not capitalize on all these requests. If 
there is such clamour for features, you would think that somewhere, 
features would be added. Imagine the shake-up in the world of 
spreadsheets if someone listened and delivered features. :-)

Yeh ... years ago, I used to code in Ashton Tate's DBaseIII ... back in 
the wild days of early RDBMS and CPM.

No, but since you mentioned it, I looked it up and it looks really 
useful. I notice that something similar is offered in Calc (Data->Form)

Cheers,
