Topic: 'Edit Song' little coding bug

I have noticed that on several songs that I have edited that an annoying little bug occurs - not always, but often enough to be a problem.


When the 'soc' (start of chorus) or 'sob' (start of bridge) commands are used, the chordpro converter will ignore the statement on some of certain lines of text.


For instance, in the middle of a chorus (that is supposed to be indented and italicized) the text will suddenly become plain and left-justified even though the proper formatting codes are in place.


Likewise, in the middle of a bridge (that is supposed to be indented), the text will suddenly become left-jestified - even though the proper formatting codes are in place.


I have included some links for songs where this occurs.  It seems to just happen around certian lines within the layout?  This is not the biggest problem in the world, but it is a curious little quirk . . .

Re: 'Edit Song' little coding bug

I've noticed the same thing. I only post this to confirm that it's happening on accounts other than yours. I assume the admin/developer has it in the list to be addressed. If you need more examples let me know.
