Creating text les on a personal
computer
Choosing the correct text le format
By using the Unicode text encoding, Pa5X can support lyrics in several languages.
The le must be a plain/normal text le, with Unicode UTF-8 (with BOM) encoding,
and Windows-compliant end of line (CRLF).
To create a TXT le with the correct encoding, you can use a Windows PC or Mac
with an advanced text editor. Two excellent applications you may use are Don Ho’s
Notepad++ for Windows and Bare Bone’s BBEdit for Mac.
Language Text Encoding
When creating or editing a text le, we suggest you use the UTF-8 with BOM
encoding. If this is not possible, please choose one of the following text encod-
ings when saving the le, being sure it is matching the language selected in Pa5X.
Choosing a codeset for your text le is always recommended, being an added
safety.
