I need two separate playlists for music. I change the names of the songs by adding a number in front of them to help with the order of the music to the particular set piece I am doing for my show. But when I change the name of the song in one playlist, it changes the name in the other playlist as well. I only want the name changed in one playlist. Is it possible to customize song names for each playlist?

Comtheo,
The name (and other tags) for a song will be the same in the Music library and any playlist in which it appears. If it gets changed in one place, it will be changed in all.
If you want one to be different, make a second copy of the song file and re-tag the second one as you wish.
You don't need to change the name to arrange the order of songs in a playlist - there's a playlist number to the left of each song; when you move a song to a different position (click & drag), the number changes to reflect its new place in the playlist. In other words, the same song which is second in one playlist will have the number 2, but if it's 11th in a different list, it will have the number 11.
As christopher rigby1 says, just make sure you are viewing in list view and you click the top of the column on the far left which enables manual sort order.
Changing song names in one playlist, without changing in another.
