Hi there, I tried to import .TXT files with songs, but it inputs on the beginning of the each song ’ sign. That ruins each flag (Verse 1) making it visible on the projector. Is there anything I could do better about encoding or the problem is in the TXT importing done by Quelea? ---

Could you maybe send us an example file that we could look at? You can send it either to me or @berry120 privately if you don’t want to upload it here. ---

The character set of the import file should be UTF-8. ---

Could this be related to Github (I just recorded this): # 2019.1 release : incorrect song titles on importing plain text files #167
