Perhaps the [===] syntax used in custom slides could be brought over to songs?

Title:
  OpenLyrics export non-compliant for split verses

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  OpenLP 1.9.7

  When exporting to OpenLyrics there is a case where the file created is non-compliant to the OpenLyrics standard.
  In OpenLP, the only way to obtain a 'hard break' (split verse across two or more slides) is to create separate consecutive 'verses' but number them the same:
  ---[Verse:1]---
  Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
  That saved a wretch like me;
  ---[Verse:1]---
  I once was lost, but now am found,
  Was blind, but now I see.

  When exported to OpenLyics, this results in two verses both with name="v1". However, the OpenLyrics spec says "There shouldn’t be two or more verses the same name." The correct way to indicate split verses in OpenLyrics is with name="v1a", name="v1b", etc.

  While on this topic, should we talk about better ways to specify 'hard
  breaks' within OpenLP?
