Various bard instruments such as the Cli Lyre in the character builder show up with charges rather than limited use buttons on the character sheet. This means that players still have to write down what spell they used rather than mark it as used on the character sheet. Is there a way to change this currently, or is this something that is coming with a future update?
Seems like a bug to me, but the only way I would think to modify it would be to create a homebrew magic item and use the Cli Lyre as a base. Then modify the limited use to each spell as in create a limited use : Fly (Cli Lyre), Invisibility (Cli Lyre), Levitate (Cli Lyre), etc. and set the use to one that resets at dawn. That would be how I would do it if they don't modify the current item.
I can't seem to be able to add limited use to an item based off the lyre. I am very confused as to what is happening with this item.
Sorry, I threw out that suggestion without actually troubleshooting it myself. That normally works with other homebrew, but I suppose not for the magic item. I added the Cli Lyre to one of my characters to see what you were talking about and there are two ways you could fix this. The first way, is use the Cli Lyre as a base for a homebrew magic item, but change the name to "Cli Lyre (Fly)" and make it to where the only spell it gives is fly, then save that item. You could do that for each of the spells that the Cli Lyre has.
It seems like a bit of work, but fret not, I have another solution, but creates another problem. My second option is to create a feat called "Cli Lyre". Under the feat you can create multiple limited use options and you could make one for each of the spells. The issue with this is it actually takes away a feat/ability score improvement from your character. The ability score improvment is no big deal as you can just increase your characters ability scores and give them the feat instead, but if they've always chosen feats, then it creates another issue.
All in all, it seems like it may be an easy fix, but until they correct it, then this may be the only way I know how to remedy the situation. What I would do though, is make a similar post into the "Bugs" forum and explain what's going on. They should respond faster in there about this issue.

Phew. Alright, I wanted to make sure I wasn't just missing some obvious toggle somewhere. I've posted about this in the bug forum. Thanks for helping. :)

If you're missing it, then I am too lol no big deal!
Just a note, you can add the feat to the character without using up one of your ASI's using the Manage Feats button at the bottom of the "Features and Traits" tab of the character sheet.
There doesn't seem to be a framework in place to track different single-use abilities on one item, to my knowledge. I have the same issue.
