This is something so basic it really has to be at the start of a file or tune. How about something like X:43 [charset=UTF-8] for tunes or X:[charset=UTF-8] (with no index number) in files? One problem: what if you want to mix character sets in a tune? - e.g. to have a Chinese song documented in English? (T: and w: fields in Chinese, N: and D: fields in English). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro". ------> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "abc" at this site, please <------ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
