How to use this in LightBurn

In LightBurn, add a text box and type %11 (whole text) or %12, %13 … (one line each).
Set the text box's mode to Merge/CSV in the text toolbar.
Open Window → Variable Text (it opens as a tab behind Cuts / Layers), click Browse and pick your Engrave Merge file.
Set Start = 1 (row 0 is the header), End = the last Merge row number on your cut sheet, then press Reset.
One item per run: Advance By = 1 and turn on Auto-Advance. Each Start moves to the next item.
Several items per bed: lay them out with Grid Array with Auto-Increment Variable Text on (offsets 0, 1, 2, …), and set Advance By to how many fit (e.g. 4).
Press Test or use Preview to check names before burning. Set Max Width in the Shape Properties window so long names shrink to fit.
Tick items off on the printed cut sheet. The "Merge row" number matches LightBurn's Current value.
