How can I add this text with values into my legend?

I have the following code for my plot legend currently:
baseNames = {'T9C11','T8C7','T8C5','T9C6'};
baseValues = mutualInfoTotal([67 52 50 62]); % or whatever the indices are
NewNames = cellspikes(numel(baseNames,1));
for idx = 1:length(baseNames)
NewNames{idx} = sprintf('%s, MI = %2.2f',baseNames{idx},baseValues(idx));
end
legend(NewNames)
which ends up saying something like "T9C11, MI = 43.95" for each entry on the legend. But I would like to change this to "T9C11, MI = 43.95 bits/sec; 3.45 bits/spk" So I would like to draw from the corresponding index values of a different variable, MISpikeTotal, for the bits/spk values. How can I do this?

Couldn't you just modify your call to sprintf appropriately?
NewNames{idx} = sprintf('%s, MI = %2.2f; %2.2f bits/spk',...
baseNames{idx}, baseValues(idx), MISpikeTotal(idx));
