UTF-8 encoding issues (OpenLyrics XML to ProPresenter)

Dear all,
I am migrating from OpenSong 3.1.0 to ProPresenter 7.16.1 and need to convert my song library.
I have experienced issues with UTF-8 encoding in the verses.

The songs are exported as OpenLyrics XML
test.xml.zip

File converted using LyricConverted to ProPresenter 6 looks OK. The CCLIAuthor and other metadata are correctly converted, no issues with UTF-8.
test.pro6.zip

Once opened in ProPresenter 7, the UTF-8 characters in verses are broken.

Any ideas how to overcome the issue?
Is the problem related to the conversion or to ProPresenter 7 import of the document?

Mediashout Lyrics

Hi,

Stumbled upon your program which looks great.

Was wondering if it works with Mediashout v7 which we used at our church. I believe they used json format for their lyrics.

I have a bunch of songs in text format which I would like to convert so they can be used in Mediashout if possible.

Thanks

Rohan

OpenSong support

Please consider adding support for the OpenSong's [mostly] XML format: http://www.opensong.org/pages/song-file-format-specification.html

The non-XML bit is the text contained in between the tabs, eg:
[V1]
Verse 1 line 1
Verse 1 line 2
Verse 1 line 3

[P]
Pre-Chorus line 1
Pre-Chorus line 2
Pre-Chorus line 3||
Pre-Chorus line 4 (on slide 2)
Pre-Chorus line 5 (on slide 2)
Pre-Chorus line 6 (on slide 2)

[C]
Chorus line 1
Chorus line 2
Chorus line 3

[V2]
Verse 2 line 1
Verse 2 line 2
Verse 2 line 3

[B]
Bridge line 1
Bridge line 2
Bridge line 3

Better plain text file support

Many lyric programs support exporting songs as plain text files. For example: MediaShout and ProPresenter.

Make sure that LyricConverter can read these formats, especially for MediaShout and others like it that use a binary file format which will be difficult or impossible to extract data from otherwise.

Support for EasyWorship

If you want to give EW conversion a go, it looks like you can grab databases from the Salvation Army by going to http://delministries.tripod.com/easy_worship.htm. File extension is .ews and from what I can find, is a paradox table.

Better describe how LC works
