Describe the bug
In the latest build version, unicode chars cannot directly be pasted into the Lazarus SynEdit components (editor, markup export)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (if known):

1. Open the editor
2. Paste a text with special chars (like ä, ö, ü) from an other program

Expected behavior
The text should be inserted correctly.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Information about your Operation System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Arch

Cantara should be available in English in order to make it available for a wider audience

• Lazarus provides already a localisation feature, so it should not be very hard to implement that.

It would probably be helpful to people and maybe easy to implement if the *.txt* files exported by https://songselect.com could be directly used.

They have almost the same format as the one documented in the readme, with some additional metadata, e.g.

Amazing Grace


Verse 1
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see


Verse 2
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed


Verse 3
The Lord has promised good to me
His Word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures


Verse 4
Through many dangers toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home


Verse 5
Yea when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace


Verse 6
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun

It would be good if you can save a list of songs beforehand (in a file for example) and just open this file when needed. After this, all songs should be loaded and ready to display.

These files should be created through Cantara itself.

Hello everyone,

I am going to release version 2.6.0 in the near future. Some changes in the UI have been untertaken which lead to the need of updating the translation. I list you here because you have done translations for Cantara before (thank you very much!). If you find time, may I ask you to check and update them again please? Of course also any other people who are fluent in the concerning language may take part in the translation process. Here are some general hints on translating Cantara.

• German translation: already updated by @reckel-jm
• Spanish translation: already updated by @haggen88
• Chinese (traditional) translation @primores-resugendi
• Dutch translation @Vistaus
• Italian translation @albanobattistella

Thank you!

Sometimes, we might want to show a Bible verse in between the songs. Although copying and pasting the verse manually is possible, it is more elegant if Cantara provides a feature where the user can select the Bible verse within the app and parse it in the slide easily.
Below is a suggestion of the left panel for the user to choose. UI idea is taken from alkitab.app

Currently, a pre-chorus is not supported with the ccli song format. If you change it to a .song format it works fine.

The pre-chorus should be displayed before the chorus itself.

• OS: Windows
• Version 2.4.0

To try it out yourself, you can open up the included file below. You will see that the pre-chorus is not displayed (just verse 1 - chorus - verse 2).
