Well, Clinton - I explained all this a couple of weeks ago, in response to your post that said you were never going to post lyrics again (click). One problem is that hard returns are invisible in most situations, so they can end up in unexpected locations (including within stuff that is copy-pasted from other sources - Microsoft Notepad is a big offender in putting carriage returns where you don't want them) - and the ColdFusion setting turns them into line breaks, wherever they may be. We have had a number of weird situations develop with the automatic line breaks, and it will take us time to figure them all out. It's easier for us to test the setup with a few tech people, rather than putting it on Mudcat untested. The whole thing crashed, so it's a good thing we didn't release it for general use.
Please recognize the fact that Mudcat is a total volunteer effort, so it may take us a while to get things tested and ready for release. Also, automatic line breaks are not a top priority. We have existed quite well without them for quite a long time. There are lots of things we would like to do, but they all take time and money. It's a miracle that Mudcat keeps running at all - improvements are kind of a luxury.
