Maybe for Linux, but I have no problem exchanging UTF-named files (using
umlauts and even non-roman characters) between Win7 and OSX. Is it possible
these concerns are out of date? I think users might find it quite
irritating to have their part names overly mangled, especially if they use
non-roman character sets.
Finale (which is what I know best) doesn't mangle the names at all, which
yields problems if a partname contains '/'. Obviously improvement over that
behavior is required, but I question whether it is the responsibility of
developers to guarantee that a filename is portable. I would guess users
would prefer their preferred filename to portable filenames, since I would
guess that many basically never port them. Why shouldn't portability of
filenames be the responsibility of the user? (If it is really even an
issue.)
