Hi.
Attempting to import an official SongSelect Chordpro file.
In OpenLP 2.9.4, the import feature fails to correctly read the contents of these files.
Here's a fragment from the file concerned. Observe on the last line, I'll:
Bless the [C]Lord O my [G]soul [D/F#]O my [Em]soul [C]Worship His [G]holy [Dsus]name [D]Sing like [C]never be - [Em]fore [C]O [D]my [Em]soul I’ll [C]worship Your [D]holy [|] [C/G]name [G] [|] [C/G] [G] [|]
When imported into OpenLP, this is how it is displayed in the user interface:
You can see that the last line is corrupt, as is the 1st line of the next page.
In Linux, I isolated the relevant line from the cho file and performed a hex-dump analysis.
It's clear from the output that the apostrophe is a 3-byte, well-formed, utf-8/unicode character.

Assuming all SongSelect/CCLI .cho files are similar, clearly, it seems 2.9.4 cannot handle any .cho file manufactured by that site/service - which is likely to be the main source of chordpro files for most churches across the world.
Happy bug hunting!

Here's a further example - this time a Spanish language chordpro file of the same song, also from SongSelect.ccli.com
Te a - [C]labo Se - [G]ñor, [D]oh Se - [Em]ñorCon [C]todo mi [G]cora - [Dsus]zón [D]De tu [C]grande a - [Em]mor [C]can - [D]ta - [Em]réTu [C]nombre a - [D]laba - [C/G]ré [G]
And when imported into OpenLP...
