errant dashes in Producer

Post by wolfgangubi »

Hi Dave,

I am finding that when I use -[space] in Producer, there are a couple times where the Dash doesn't disappear when I move the file into KJams. Any idea why?

Here is part of the lyric, copied directly from TunePrompter.

Learn free bird
and ramb- lin’ man
Ne– ver buy
a- nother beer a- gain

{GUITAR SOLO}
Just get you
a gui– tar and learn
how to play

When this part was moved to Producer it looks like...


Learn free bird
and ramblin’ man
Ne– ver buy
another beer again

{GUITAR SOLO}
Just get you
a gui– tar and learn
how to play


So Nev- er and gui- tar kept the dashes, and ramblin, another and again didn't.


Actually, I just tried taking this lyric out of my song and creating a new song with just this lyric, and the same thing happened, with the same words.... If you wish to try the lyric yourself it is....

Start a band,
Scrape up
some mo- ney,
buy a van

Learn free bird
and ramb- lin’ man
Ne– ver buy
a- nother beer a- gain


Thanks
Jeff

Hi dave

I sent you all the files zipped up via www.sendspace.com. Please let me know if you didn't get them.

Thanks
Jeff

got them

Update: your "dashes" are actually option-dashes. please replace the option-dash characters with regular dash and all will work fine.
