"This specifies what character is used to denote multiple values within a single field (e.g. Rock;Folk)."
I suggest s/denote/separate/ .

Sorry, I still don't follow
What does "s/denote/separate/" mean?

I, like nohitter, am a little lost on what you're asking for here. Are you suggesting that Denote be changed to Seperate in the description so it reads better, or with the "/", are you suggesting that be the default? *Scratches Head*

Yes.

Sorry, s/xxx/yyy/ is an idiom of writing, meaning substitute xxx with yyy - from a command in a very old editor program
I shall endeavour to be clearer next time.

Ah, okay.
I don't really see the difference, both terms seem to fit:
de⋅note
1. to be a mark or sign of; indicate:
sep⋅a⋅rate
1. to keep apart or divide, as by an intervening barrier or space
