How add Metamagic spells to a Sorcerer's spell list?

[draco963]

Hey everyone. My party has a sorcerer with a couple of metamagic feats. He uses them consistently for a couple of spells, and tracking what he's actually cast is becomming difficult, as I can't seem to add metamagic spells to his spell list on the Sorcerer tab, so I wind up adding a casting of the first of a given level in his Spells tab tracker (which makes it look like he's cast Shout 3 times when it's actually been two Sculpted Lightning Bolts and a Sculpted Wind Wall).

I know, I'm picking nits, but I could add metamagic spells to my wizard, and not being able to do so for my sorcerer is starting to prove... somewhat annoying.

Am I blind and just not seeing how to do this (always a possibility)? Or is this functionality really not here and then can someone point me to a work-around? (i.e.: I'm going to have to create copies of his metamagic'd spells in the Editor and inflate his number of learnable spells to accommodate them)

thanks all!

Do you need to track what he "actually" cast? All you need to track is the spell-slot used, and both of you should know how the meta-magic chosen affects spells.
Hero Lab doesn't record Metamagic & Spells like a Wizard does because the Sorcerer doesn't prepare normal or meta-magic effected spells. It only records the spells he knows, and how many times he can cast at each spell level. You apply the metamagic feat when he chooses to use it on a spell he knows. All you record is the altered spell slot. So in HL, check off the spell slot used.
Example: He knows Magic Missile (1st level), and the Meta Magic (Silent) - cast together is using a 2nd level spell slot.
If you really want to track exactly what combinations he used each time, then NO, HL can't do that. If you want to have all the possibilities recorded in HL, its possible (list wands on the Hero for example) but not straightforward.
