How do I create a line break after a character? in this case ;

Currently I have the pone script as so for performer field.

\u000A-----------------------\u000A works find and look as so:

Album Credits:

## Double Bass: Chuck Israels

## Drums: Paul Motian

## Engineer [Recording]: Bill Schwartau

## Piano: Bill Evans

Producer: Orrin Keepnews

However in those cases where Discog does not have metatag and i create my own tag info...  
I would still like to it be the same.

Not sure if an action can occur here, but simply I would like it to read when there is a **;** add a line break.

Example where i add my own info

Flora Purim - Vocals;  
Moriata - Percussions;  
Bill Evans - Piano;

Need it to read as:

## Flora Purim - Vocals

## Moriata - Percussions

## Bill Evans - Piano

Any ideas...

Thanks

I think the \r should be expanded to \r\n (see Help on scripts)
