Samuel's comment is slightly outdated. Songs now have [---] to mark soft breaks and as before, one could use repeated same verse marker for hard breaks.
Unfortunately this complicates the situation.
"Lettering" all verse parts as v1a, v1b, v1c is easy. But how to mark soft breaks in OpenLyrics?
Since OpenLyrics is our main export format, we cannot allow data loss on suggested export-import cycle.

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?
