Title: REQ: Lyrics Cleanup
Post by: NoCodeUK on March 10, 2003, 02:54:37 pm

Just a little one.  Would it be possible to add some clean up code to the lyrics entry box.  By this I mean equivalent to Clean File Properties when entering lyrics eg, make each line start with a capital etc.  King Spartas new Lyrics finder is great for getting lyrics but some of the output from lyrics sites is gramatically undesirable for one as anal as me :D

Cheers

Adam

Can't you use MC9's Cleanup?

I just tried it and it worked.

Make sure "[X] Lyrics" Is Checked.

I seem to remember I tried that before and it ignored the character returns...I will investigate again...

Just checked and it does ignore the character returns and does some very funky things besides...Title Case ends up having all words capitalised except the first word on each line...Senetence case would be best eg each line begins with a capital or each word starting with a capital...

I'd love to see Adam's request implemented in MC (Clean File Properties extra option: make each line of a lyric start with a capital).

Is that possible Matt/Jim?

>> make each line of a lyric start with a capital
It is a bug and I did put it in the bug thread a week or two ago.
