editing help?

2019-08-10 by Spencer Chase

i changed the filenames to track names for all the 2011 to 2018 ecomp files and noticed that some of the titles are messed up due to yamaha using some strange text encoding. i had fixed this up in the composer field which is easy because most were known or easy to find online. i am not trying to use foreign characters as this might cause incompatibility with some computers or ??? i think the names are fine but some titles are totally screwed up (not a huge amount) and it would be nice if someone wanted to go through the list and fix the errors. let me know if you like doing this sort of thing and i will send the text file.

this is a tab delimited text file of all the files from 2011 to 2018 best edited in excel. i think that all of the errors are due to some strange encoding they used for accented characters. this is not consistent from file to file, some are fine others not. in order to get the titles right you need to look up the composer and figure out what the title should be. some are easy to figure out, others will require looking online or in the worst case looking on the yamaha e-comp site where the titles might display properly.
