Oh, thanks Samuel, I didn't know that. Then this should be fixable.

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?
