Software for reading multiple FEN positions I have started playing around with SCID and Arena to analyze my games and store interesting screenshots. I recently heard about the FEN notation which makes it conveninient to describe chess positions (previosuly I used to store screenshots of the board positions)
Now I know that SCID can read a single FEN string and set up the described position from that string but as far as I understand, it cannot read a file containing multiple FEN positions, and iterate through them.
What I would like to do is keep a database text file with interesting positions from my games or famous games or typical opening positions into a single file, one FEN string per line along with a short comment giving some more context and information about the position.
So the file  would be something like
1b6/4pKn1/8/1nPkqp1R/2pr3p/3b1pp1/P3Qp2/2BRr3     # comment 1
1B6/4pKR1/3b3p/3QN2p/1Rb2k2/3PpN1P/2q1P3/8        # comment 2
1b6/4pN1K/2qpQ1p1/R4n1p/1Prkb3/N2p1pB1/3P1n1r/8   # comment 3
1B6/4pN1p/7p/3P1k2/2p5/4P2K/4P3/2Q4N              # comment 4

Is there some analogous file format to do this? Maybe PGN itself is good enough? Can SCID handle such a file with multiple FEN notations? Or is there some other software for reading such files and allowing me to iterate through the various positions described in that file (and hopefully allowing me to make some edits)
A file that contains one FEN per line is a file format in itself. It's the file format used by test positions for chess engines. So engines definitely have some process to analyse all the positions in a FEN file.
(Ermm... your FEN is missing the king-castling, move number and who is to move indicator -- you'll want those.)
An alternative would be to convert each FEN line into a PGN game -- The FEN line goes in the PGN header, e.g. [FEN &quot;1b6/4pKn1/8/1nPkqp1R/2pr3p/3b1pp1/P3Qp2/2BRr3&quot;], and the comment can just be a &quot;Before move annotation&quot;. So you could construct a minimal PGN game for each position -- and PGN is supported by absolutely every single piece of chess software out there. There is a minimal set of headers required for a valid PGN game, White, Black, Site, and Result. Plus that FEN header.
Scout around, maybe you can find a fen2pgn script. There was one a few decades ago.
