Currently, we use uchardet to detect lyrics encoding. This library is a (not very well maintained) fork of Mozilla's chardet. Alternatives:

ICU CharsetDetector. There is a PoC available.
Rust chardet is a Rust version of Mozilla's chardet, but it is even less well maintained than uchardet.
Google's compact encoding detector. This one is used in Chrome.
Rust chardetng which is the new detector in Firefox.

The problem with most of the above alternatives is that the web requirements may not be the same as MIDI lyrics.
