Description
Your idea
My idea:
There should be a way to translate lyrics from the score back into
the plugin-syntax while dumping.
This would allow to make corrections like punctuation, large and lower case, spelling and so on
and then re-paste the text.
It would also make it easy to understand the syntax:
Load a score with lyrics, dump the text into the plugin, see the syntax...
Problem to be solved
Dumping Lyrics doesn't translate them back into the plugin-syntax,
hence you can't re-past dumped lyrics and get the same result, see:
This restricts the functionality of the plugin.
Prior art
No response
Additional context
There could be to ways to dump:
- dump with syntax, weather it be lilypond's or musescore's own one
- dump without

Research direction
Start by tracing the desktop plugin's lyric dumping entry point and how dumped lyrics are converted back into plugin syntax. Compare the requested syntax-preserving dump with the existing plain-text dump, then define expected round-trip behavior for punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and re-pasting before implementing and testing it.
