Has there been a change to how MS handles the \ char. Until recently I had been using [F\] to indicate a single strum on the chord but now the \ is nolonger displayed. If I code it as \\ I get the desired single \. This also occurs with other combination of \ eg
\ - nothing
\\ - one \
\\\ - one \
\\\\ - two \
Etc. I have hundreds of chordpro files where I use \ as an indicator of number of beats so this is causing me quite a problem ? any chance we can go back to how it used to work ?
Thanks

This is most likely the result of changes to properly support unicode characters. This may be a tough one to resolve because I'm using a function to unescape each line which should replace unicode statements like \u2013 with the actual unicode character, but that same function is stripping the slashes. I'll see what I can do.

UPDATE:
I've updated the code to correctly handle this so I can support backslashes in chords, line endings as well as unicode escape sequences.
