Title:
  Song Editor - improve usability of Verse Order field

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Fix Released
Status in OpenLP trunk series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Today I was attempting to use the Verse order field in the Song
  Editor.  I was manually creating a new song (copy/paste lyrics from
  internet site into individual verses) and I put them in the wrong
  order in the Song Editor (put verse 4 ahead of verse 3).  Since I'm
  new to OpenLP I decided to play around with things, so I attempted to
  use the Verse order field to order the verses correctly.  I tried
  putting in "V1, V2, C1, V4, V3" and it popped up an error message
  saying the order was invalid.  Then I tried multiple other
  combinations until I found out that the delimiter had to be a space.

  The error message states something along the lines of "The verse order
  is invalid.  There are no verses corresponding to V1,, V2,, C1,, V4,,
  V3.  Valid entries are V1, V2, C1, V4, and V3."

  1) Add some onscreen help text/validation to prevent users from entering information in an invalid format.  Potentially shorten the Lyrics field by a few rows to allow more space for this.
  2) The error message as currently written doesn't actually tell users how to fix the problem.  An error message that says something like "Add each entry abbreviation (V1, V2, etc) separated by a single space" would guide users as to how to fix the problem more quickly.
