No, wait --- I wasn't referring to the pin labels, but to the
net;  the example spreadsheet that I got from the instructions
on creating one's own symbols with tragesym has column F
with heading *net*  (immediately on the left of the label).

I put a legend in the *net* column expecting that it would
define a net for that pin.

 From the rest of your reply, I suspect that this does not
work anyway?  (if that's the case, then what does that
column *net* do?)

That's what I had done for the time being (hoping that
there would be some other way).  However:  how do you
place the labels?   What I did was, I drew a wire (a very
short fragment), and then double-clicked on the wire
and added a netname attribute, selecting the option
"Visible --> Show Value Only", and the caption shows
next to the wire.  In your schematic, they show like an
actual tag/label connected to the wire.

Thanks,
Carlos
