Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • We can have predefined accents. People can also write their own free-form. One can select multiple accents.
  • Multiple accents are separated by comma (,) in the metadata files
  • On the other hand, predefined and/or free-form accent info can also contain (many do contain) comma
  • Thus it becomes nearly impossible (i.e. without writing a parser) to separate different accent values

Describe the solution you'd like

Just use a special character like "|" or "@" to separate multiple accent values

Additional context

Here is a partial accents data where you can see many comma separated locations (it is usual for accents):

309	en	preset	southatlandtic	South Atlantic (Falkland Islands, Saint Helena)
310	en	preset	african	Southern African (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia)
312	en	preset	bermuda	West Indies and Bermuda (Bahamas, Bermuda, Jamaica, Trinidad)
314	es	preset	nortepeninsular	España: Norte peninsular (Asturias, Castilla y León, Cantabria, País Vasco, Navarra, Aragón, La Rioja, Guadalajara, Cuenca)
315	es	preset	centrosurpeninsular	España: Centro-Sur peninsular (Madrid, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha)
316	es	preset	surpeninsular	España: Sur peninsular (Andalucia, Extremadura, Murcia)
320	es	preset	caribe	Caribe: Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, República Dominicana, Panamá, Colombia caribeña, México caribeño, Costa del golfo de México
321	es	preset	andino	Andino-Pacífico: Colombia, Perú, Ecuador, oeste de Bolivia y Venezuela andina
322	es	preset	rioplatense	Rioplatense: Argentina, Uruguay, este de Bolivia, Paraguay

Here is one recording from a user with multiple accents selected :

España: Centro-Sur peninsular (Madrid, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha),España: Norte peninsular (Asturias, Castilla y León, Cantabria, País Vasco, Navarra, Aragón, La Rioja, Guadalajara, Cuenca)

This might be split easily if it were like:

España: Centro-Sur peninsular (Madrid, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha)|España: Norte peninsular (Asturias, Castilla y León, Cantabria, País Vasco, Navarra, Aragón, La Rioja, Guadalajara, Cuenca)
