I suppose this could be a non-music thread, but my question chiefly relates to the posting of lyrics. What are the customs in your country, with regards to capitalization of song titles, and the spacing of use of punctuation within lyrics?

In the U.S., most words of a title are capitalized, but not definite or indefinite articles (the, a, an) unless they are the first word of the title. There is rarely any punctuation in the title of a song, but I've noticed that several Irish people end a song title with a period and sometimes capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the song title.

Many people from countries other than the U.S., seem to like to put a space before most punctuation marks, especially commas, colons, and semicolons.

Some people capitalize the first word of every line of every song, some only if the line begins a sentence.

So, what are the correct conventions in your country?
