I'll go further and shall thank everyone participated in this thread (the special thanks goes to T.Rox, this goes without saying...)

I'd make all the changes myself, but I have those troubles with diacritics, my curse...

It's not some specifical diacritics. It's the process which is annoying, since I have to rewrite all the diacritics.

I can do it myself, but it'll take ages. If I hadn't those settings problems, it'd took seconds. That's all...

Would you like to mark here the corrected groups of bands, please?

It'll be very helpful...

I'll do it, Eugene... the other day I was checking some details in the database and started to correct the countries' acronyms but I stopped in the letter E.

It is very kind from you.

You may have a look to my long post (a list, to be more precise) on the previous page -- I update it from time to time, adding a *** mark to the group of bands being corrected (I also post here each such a group in a separate post).

Some names simply killing me because of the diacritics (AMON DÜÜL, for example...) -- the settings on my PC don't fit the ones in the correction zone.
