Re: Having scandinavic letters in headers

[Hans Forbrich]

Most of the music I write is using the German umlaut characters in the heading 
and
the lyrics.

Right now I use Cygwin (currently 1.6.5, but I also did this in 4.x), and I 
tend to
use Windows Notepad or Wordpad for basic editing.  The workaround I've created 
for
myself is to create a comment towards the top of the file with all the 
characters
(created easily in MS Word), and then I copy and paste the specific character
directly while editing the file.  Cumbersome, not elegant, but workable.
