Hi everybody, at first I would like to give big thanks to whole team for this work! I wolud like to help you with some testing. I was testing this version with my colleague and we realized some issues. Would you be able to help us with solving theese problems:
A) First one, which was really annoying for us - when we tried to import our lyrics with empty slides (we use empty slides with verse type OTHERS), import failed. Here is a report:
Traceback (most recent call last):File "openlp\core\widgets\wizard.py", line 230, in on_current_id_changed
File "openlp\plugins\songs\forms\songimportform.py", line 331, in perform_wizard
File "openlp\plugins\songs\lib\importers\openlyrics.py", line 73, in do_import
File "openlp\plugins\songs\lib\openlyricsxml.py", line 410, in xml_to_song
File "openlp\plugins\songs\lib\openlyricsxml.py", line 734, in _process_lyrics
File "openlp\plugins\songs\lib\openlyricsxml.py", line 685, in _process_verse_lines
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)
Here is an example of problematic lyrics:
Colleague has done some experiments and he found, that there is a problem with empty slides. If we have in XML something like this, the import fails:
<verse name="o1">
<lines> </lines>
</verse>
If we have there any text or chord, the problem disappears, e.g.:
<verse name="o1">
<lines>TEXT </lines>
</verse>
<verse name="o1">
<lines><chord name="Hm"/></lines>
</verse>
Could you solve it, please? Adding of some empty space is important for us...
B) Secong issue is connected with czech translation. There is a collision of abreviations for verse order:
Bridge (Přechod) and Pre-chorus (Předrefrén) - both has in czech translation abreviation P, so we can not use pre-chorus.
C) Third issue is connected with chords. Is there any detailed manual how to work with them?
At first, I have to say, that we aren't musicians, so maybe we don't know other solutions... We found 3 problems:
1) When we want to put there chords for intro, we write there for example someting like this:
<verse name="o2">
<lines><chord name="Hm"/></lines> </verse> <verse name="o2"> <lines><chord name="Hm"/> <chord name="A/C#"/> <chord name="D"/> <chord name="A"/> <chord name="G"/></lines>
</verse>
It works, but after exporting and importing the text, chords stage view ignores the spaces between chords (and delete them of course), so musicians can't read it.
How can I solve this problem?
Is there any possibility, how to write there into chord view something like this?
| Hm / / A/C# | D / / / | A / / / | G / / / |
2) Is there any possibility, how can man write there tempo, other used abreviations and some other notes for musicians? We don't want to write it for every service as a note. Some pernament solution wolud be helpful for us.
3) Sometimes when we have many chords in our songs, the lyrics aresplitted into many slides (despite very low words count, so OpenLP devides it counting everything including chords). Can you solve it, please?
4) Is there any list of all valid chords? Sometimes we found that some abbreviation isn't recognized by the SW.
Thank you.
