search and replace in lyrics
Hello, is there a way to do a global search/replace in the lyrics? It turns out that some imported files have characters that MuseScore apparently does not recognise, like œ or æ, and which appear as a black trapezoid with a question mark on the score. Or perhaps I should select a different font for the lyrics? Is that possible? Attached is the first page of a file imported from https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/images/8/87/Gomb-mus.mid
Thanks,
Andrea

No, there isn't and search and replace function. Still œ and æ should show properly and do for me, using the default font, Edwin, if I enter them (but indeed don't in your score)
But yes, in Preferences > Import there are options for import to use a different charset, but apparently only for GuitarPro and Overture?
Ah, no, in the MIDI Import this is possible directly (and defaults to UTF-8). Using ISO-8859-1 seems to work in this case?
A long time ago there was a PR to get this done automatically, see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/494 and #3370: Import or detect encoding of text from MIDI
Yes, selecting ISO-8851-1 or latin-1 in the midi import panel works in the score - thanks! - but curiously it messes up the lyrics column in the panel - which is unimportant for me, but It thought I would point it out anyway.
In reply to Yes, selecting ISO-8851-1 or… by amoneti
lyrics column in the panel ???
Edit: Ah, I see now.... But that's only temporarily, not once the score is saved in MuseScore format
