[Bug 1832129] Re: Import from PowerPoint fails due to non xml characters

 

This is NOT a failure of an importer....The user uses the manual song
creation form and is cutting and pasting from PowerPoint and other
sources.  Something they are pasting contains a non-xml character.  I
have not found what character is causing the issue yet....it would be
nice if the error message could be updated to indicate what field is
causing the error.....at this point the user does not know where the
problem is....even pasting into notepad and then copying from notepad
before pasting does not help....

  From Forum:
  I've noticed that it 70% of the time gives an error when I try to copy and paste lyrics onto the software, forcing me to manually type in the lyrics (which to be honest can be such a hassle).
