Other Call Number in Tiny Cat

Our Music Collections Library has a custom indexing method. I've started putting those in the Other Call Number field in LibraryThing but I can't get it to appear in TinyCat. Is there a solution other than replacing the LOC number with our custom call number? At some point (in the future), we may switch to LOC and would like for those number to still be there.

TinyCat will show one call number, depending on your settings. But you can have all three systems in your catalogue. Using Other Call Number does not delete the others from your entry. If in future you decide to switch, you can just change your settings if the data is there.

If you want to use part of your library on LCC and part on your custom system, and see them in TinyCat, you would have to copy the LCC numbers into Other Call Number. The settings are for the whole library, not individual books.

Thank you. I had been digging around for a while and couldn’t find the setting and when I finally did, I felt pretty silly that I missed it. Came back here to say, nevermind I found it, but you’ve already graciously answered. Thank you!
