Add New Line Before A Bracket

Support
#1

I've been trying to add a new line behind a bracket on the lyrics tag but I ended up giving up and coming here, let's say I have a lyrics tag like this:

[Refrain]
La-da-da, la-da-da

[Bridge]
All that time spent with my therapist
Talking over all your arrogance
[Chorus]
If you're gonna send it, they might save it

could someone help me out with an Action to add a new line behind [Chorus] but not on the other brackets? I have this problem in multiple songs and has been bugging me out for while :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

You could try to replace the invisible "carriage return" (and maybe linefeed) at the end of the word arrogance followed by an opening bracket [ with a carriage return **and two linefeeds ** (\r\n\n) followed by an opening bracket [

The problem is: We can't see what character(s) exactly follows at the end of "arrogance" before [

I would do it in 2 steps:
first relace all brackets with an additional new line,
then replace all triple new lines with 2 new lines.

That's exactly what I tried before but the second step didn't change anything.
Could you tell me exactly how to do it? maybe yours could actually work

#5

Could you show us what you tried?
Which function/action?
Which format string?

I tried it with Converter>Tag-Tag for UNSYNCEDLYRICS
Format string: $regexp($regexp(%unsyncedlyrics%,'\r\n\[','\r\n\r\n\['),\r\n\r\n\r\n,\r\n\r\n)

I don't know much about this stuff, but what i did was:

  1. replace with regular expresion
    Field: UNSYNCEDLYRICS
    Regulas expresion: \n[
    Replace matches with: \n\n[

  2. replace with regular expresion
    Field: UNSYNCEDLYRICS
    Regulas expresion: \n\n\n[
    Replace matches with: \n\n[

the 2nd step did not work, I'm unaware of what I'm doing wrong

I think that it is not just \n but a complete new line is actually \r\n.
Have you tried my idea?
