Something missing in my actions I've created. Over the months I created various actions and now am trying to consoldate them into one or at least a few actions. I am almost complete and will configure all my tags to one standard.

Here's the problem I'm having and the actions i have for them.

Overall it's should look like this:

## Album Credits:

## Primary Artist: Charles Mingus

## Featuring:

The first three lines i've created an action for listed below. The problem you'll see in a moment is it does not align correctly. The next section is actually from Discogs. It aligns perfectly.

## Bass: Charles Mingus

## Drums: Charles (Dannie) Richmond

## Engineer: Ray Moore

## Liner Notes [1959]: Diane Dorr-Dorynek

## Painting [Cover]: S. Neil Fujita

## Piano: Horace L. Parlan, Jr.

## Remastered By, Producer: Teo MacEro

## Saxophone: Booker T. Ervin, Jr., John Handy III, Shafi Hadi

## Trombone: James M. Knepper, Willie Dennis

Written-By: Mingus

Now this is what i'm getting:

## Album Credits:

## Primary Artist: Charles Mingus

## Featuring:

## Bass: Charles Mingus

## Drums: Charles (Dannie) Richmond

## Engineer: Ray Moore

## Liner Notes [1959]: Diane Dorr-Dorynek

## Painting [Cover]: S. Neil Fujita

Mainly i'm getting a gap between The first 3 line (album credits, primary artist, featuring).

Something I've added is telling it to put a gap between each line break.

Here's the action (S = $)

Format value “PERFORMERS: Featuring:;$char(13)Schar(10)$char(13)$char(10)%performers%$char(13)$char(10)  
Format value PERFORMERS: $char(13)Schar(10)Schar(13)Schar(10)%performers%Schar(1 3)Schar(10)  
Format value “PERFORMERS: %artist names% %Performers%;  
Format value PERFORMERS: Album Credits:;Schar(13)Schar(10)Schar(1 3)Schar(10)%performers%Schar(13)Schar(10)

Next Action: (again S = $)

Format value CREDITS: Sregexp(Sregexp(%credits%SI;([\r\n])),S1\r\n----------------------------------),;S,)

Format value PERFORMERS: Sregexp(Sregexp(%performers%,S([\r\n])),S1\r\n-------------------------------),;$,)

(Which I'm stating for every ; add a line break). [No Gap]

any suggestions.

If you know of a better way to accomplish let me know..

thanks

The sequence inserts 2 complete "end of paragraph".  
Chr(13) is "Carriage return" and  
Chr(10) is "line feed".  
These are the old printer commands to move the carriage back to the beginning of the line and move the paper up one line.  
So if you see two empty lines then I would assume that one "$char(13)$char(10)" is one too many.

And just like it's done!
