Problem with submitting quote of poem
I tried to submit a quote in which a character recites a poem, but the system won't allow the inclusion of slash marks to separate the lines, even though the submission guide states: "This means that poems or songs have to be quoted with a slash to mark the end of each line." Looking at the pages for a few musicals, it looks like whatever slash marks may have been present in song lyrics have been removed or replaced by other punctuation. Was this a policy change?

I'm not seeing this problem. What are you entering, and what is the form saying?

I was entering the first lines for The Loved One, and I kept getting a warning that I was including a non-permitted character (I don't recall the exact wording, and I'm unable to duplicate the problem. Something like Unicode 883 []), which I determined was the slash. I'm not sure what the problem was, but it seems to be OK now; submitting a revision. (I had taken a look at the quotes for Singin' in the Rain and Fiddler on the Roof, both of which largely lacked slashes in the lyrics.)
