Lyrics markup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I know that SE has some support for marking up the song lyrics, just wanted to 
suggest a few improvements to it.

1. Add a hotkey for toggling on/off the lyrics markup.
Just as there is for making text italic with Ctrl+i. In fact, i think that all 
the context menu actions should have a configurable hotkey. Since you already 
have a Shortcuts (well, they should be Hotkeys, but that's not critical) 
section in the Settings, it should not be too hard to implement.

2. Change the lyrics markup for multi-line subtitles.
Right now, if you select that context menu item marked with the '♪' sign, all 
the lines of a multi-line subtitle are enclosed in those signs, like:

♪ So if you feel me ♪
♪ let me know, know, know ♪

What i suggest is only putting a note sign at the beginning of the first line 
and at the end of the last line, so it would be looking like:

♪ So if you feel me
let me know, know, know ♪

In my opinion, this format is more lightweight and clearer to read, while still 
being perfectly clear as of what belong to the lyrics.

3. Make the lyrics text italic by default.
From my observations, the lyrics in the subtitles are always marked as italic. 
So i suggest applying both italic and musical note markup when using the '♪' 
context menu item. But maybe this feature should be controlled via the settings 
so that people who do not want this behavior could turn it off.

Would be nice to hear your opinion on these features! Thanks!

PS: A great piece of software otherwise, all the functions are there =).

This can be solved using regular expressions in Subtitle Edit 3.3.7. You can 
download from here: http://nikse.dk/subtitleedit.zip

Add this expression inside the xxx_OCRFixReplaceList.xml at the end before of 
the "</ReplaceList>" text.

  <RegularExpressions>
        <!--  Music signs  -->
    <RegEx find="[♪♫☺☹♥©☮☯Σ∞≡⇒π](\r\n)[♪♫☺☹♥©☮☯Σ∞≡⇒π]" replaceWith="$1" />
  </RegularExpressions>

Cheers.

SE has moved to GitHub - please re-add this issue at GitHub if it's still 
important :)
