I also can boot both systems but have only one directory for both
systems where the source files go. But my editors are configured
that they open the file regardless of the encoding and save it in the
correct format. And since I naturally have to edit the mtx-file when I
work on the music file, I never had this problem. It is certainly valuable
to have it in mind.
