It was my understanding that all unicode character sets contain English characters mapped to the same values they're mapped to in other sets.Would not a charset specifier be a good addition? (if there is already such, I shall be most embarrassed... as I am pretty much every day).
A rule such as, if you use something specific to a charset, you must specify it otherwise expect it to be 7bit ascii and display wrongly.
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).
