Saving in Srt

[DeafNet]

when I have save in srt, I notice that repeating line is missing. But on ASS file, it's does have repeating line. So I am not sure why it Aegisub acting that way.

Hello @DeafNet

You have to write your own export_srt using lua . Srt cannot accept blank lines
I pushed the automation script i use for you here, adapt it you will understand the logic of lua auto4 scripts from it

It is not blank, it is repeating in lyric song. When I try to save from ass after I finish. I see srt remove the repeating line that apply from ass.

This is actually less of a bug but more of a feature to me.

If you have two lines with exact same text and the latter starts right after the former stops, like:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
aaa

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,000
aaa

You may want to add a little bit of gap between them, for example the widely known "2 frames principle". This is for a better readability. If you have noticed this behavior in films' or other videos' subtitles, you surely can get the point.

If you have two lines with exact same text sharing the same timestamp, like:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
aaa

2
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
aaa

Then it becomes an undesired behavior to merge the two. But personally I won't recommend writing srt files like this. I would even avoid overlap in timestamps just to insure the consistency in playback experience (for example please refer to this thread). srt is not born to handle complex subtitles, and this is one of the main causes of it.
