Dear ’Ponders,

Recently I have noticed an issue with how .ly files display in my browser
when I view the LilyPond work that other editors kindly share on CPDL.

I have documented the issue, with links to several examples, in the CPDL
Forums:

Unicode encoding issue for LilyPond engraving files (.ly)
<https://forums.cpdl.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14145>

The forum moderator wrote:

But this is incorrect, IIUC. As I mentioned in the forum, there is no
problem with diacritics when I view in my browser the excellent work of
Nancho Álvarez:
https://victoria.uma.es/guerrero/ly/Guerrero-Adios_Verde_Ribera.ly.

I believe that CPDL should be able to display files in UTF-8 within
browsers. But I know almost nothing about either Unicode or websites.

My questions for this list:


   1. By any chance, can anyone figure out *why* CPDL currently can’t
   display diacritics correctly?
   2. What would be required to fix/improve CPDL?

I ask these questions because I would like to be able to articulate and
request the right solution in the forum.

Gabriel
