iTunes lyrics have extra line breaks on iPhone
I use the iTunes Lyrics window to add track personnel (i.e. the musicians and their instruments). Late last year, 2 things happened:
- The iTunes software (in OS X Lion) was updated (I'm now using 12.x, but it started with some version before that)
- I started using an iPhone 4 to listen to music, after I broke my old iPod Classic
After one or both of those events, I noticed that any new text I placed in iTunes Lyrics has extra line breaks (i.e. double-spaced) when it shows up on the iPhone. Anything that I typed into iTunes before these 2 events happened still looks OK.
This might seem like a trivial problem, but when there are a dozen or more musicians there are too many lines to view on one screen. This makes it hard to see the info at a glance.
I've tried typing the text in different formats, for example changing the line feed in TextWrangler to use either CR, CRLF, or LF but this doesn't seem to make a difference. But I've also tried using TextEdit and OpenOffice to prepare the text (in addition to typing directly into iTunes), with the same results.
