Hi all-

Most of my question seems Bibtex-related, but there's a bit that pertains to 
BibDesk. My head's a little turned around on this, and hopefully someone here 
could twist it back:

I have a few citations that look like this in Bibdesk's resulting .bib file:

> @book{Veitl:1997ij,
>       Address = {Paris},
>       Author = {Veitl, Anne},
>       Date-Added = {2010-07-18 14:26:47 -0400},
>       Date-Modified = {2010-09-14 17:18:20 -0400},
>       Keywords = {music history, cultural studies, france},
>       Publisher = {Editions L'Harmattan},
>       Title = {Politiques de la musique contemporaine: Le compositeur, la 
> "recherche musicale" et l'{\'E}tat en France de 1958 {\`a} 1991},
>       Year = {1997}}

I'm using XeLaTeX, Biber and BibLaTeX to process my files, and believe I'm 
using a complete 8-bit typesetting process. Biber, however, gives me the 
following warning:

> ./Primary.bib, line 1369, warning: found " at brace-depth zero in string (TeX 
> accents in BibTeX should be inside braces)

So that would be the double quotes around "recherche musicale" in the Title 
field.

Is it correct to think that I'm getting this warning because double-quotes are 
reserved in Bibtex? It has nothing to do with the character encoding of the 
file, right? So I need to represent the double-quotes as two single-quotes: '' 
, correct?

I can't determine whether Bibdesk provides some sort of conversion for this. Is 
there a setting or technique that will display double-quotes in Bibdesk, but 
write two single-quotes in the .bib file?

In inspecting the .bib file, I noticed that Bibdesk has encoded the accented 
characters in TeX format: {\'E} and {\`a} in this example. I assume that I 
could switch this off in Preferences if I wanted to. Also, if I wanted to 
convert my current .bib file, I could switch off the conversion and then 
export, correct?

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Charles
