Edgar,
the settings will be used on the exported file, but not on the project file.
I see what you mean. I thought the question was about the exported file.
However, regarding the metadata for the actual GarageBand project file, you still can edit that directly in GarageBand without editing the plist file insided the GarageBand Package file.
Here is a screenshot that illustrates the connection.
My Info
Only the Album Name will be used as the Projects Metadata when you change that entry in the My Info window and save the porject. You can see it in the plist editor under
<key>com_apple_garageband_metadata_albumName</key>
Podcast/Movie Track
Here is the hidden trick. The two properties "Artist" and "Composer" can be set in the Track Info window for the Movie or Podcast Track. Even if you don't use any of those two in your song, you still can make them visible and change that info. Making any changes and save the GarageBand file will display the updated metadata in the plist editor under the two porperties:
<key>com_apple_garageband_metadata_artistName</key>
<key>com_apple_garageband_metadata_composer</key>
Finder: Get Info
Of all the four fileds in the My Info window, only the ArtistName is listed in the Get Info windowfor the GarageBand project file (with the lable "Author")
Although very intersting, I didn't include those details in my GarageBand manual because this info is too geeky and a bit too much for the average GarageBand user
Hope that helps
