Add custom strings for next work and next movement

Feature description:

%next.work% should return the value of %work% for the next track in the queue
%next.movement% should return the value of %movement% for the next track in the queue
%next.movement.number% should return the value of %movement.number% for the next track in the queue
%next.movement.number.roman% should return the value of %movement.number.roman% for the next track in the queue

Problem solved:

Users cannot currently display information on the work and movement of the NEXT track.

Brought benefits:

Listeners of classical music are likely to queue multiple pieces of classical music to be played together. However, custom strings only support referring to the upcoming tracks by title/album rather than the more specific work name/album name.

It would be nice to be able to display an upcoming movement name, since that is how these tracks are listed in the album view.

This is already the case. Anything with next. and item related will show the next item data.

…I saw the line about adding “next” to any fieldname but I guess I didn’t process what it meant. Was thinking it was only in reference to the fields that page explicitly listed.

This does indeed work as you’ve stated. Thank you for the clarification!
