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: > processors like LilyPond and Frescobaldi show diacritics and … browsers > don’t show them. 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 P.S. If you happen to be a user of CPDL Forums already, feel free to chime in within the forum.
