Yes, I think so.  Ultimately, I just want a way to quickly access all of
a song's slides when we're live.

Here's an example of how it could go:
Let's say a song has a Chorus (C1) and 6 verses (V1 - V6).  We decide to perform the song as: C1 V1 C1 V2 C1 V6 (skipping verses 3, 4, & 5).  But as the song begins, the worship leader decides to play through all the verses.  The video projector operator notices this when going from C1 to V6, while the worship team instead goes to V3.  I'm picturing a simple button click that does one of the following two things:

A - Replace the verse order given above with the "raw verse order" C1 V1
V2 V3 V4 V5 C6 (or however it's defined in the song database)

B - Append the "raw verse order" to the current song.  This would make
the verse order C1 V1 C1 V2 C1 V6 C1 V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 C6.

Either way, once the verse order is updated, the slide that was selected
slide & live before clicking the Panic Button (call it whatever you
like) should still be the currently selected/Live slide.  I'm not
worried about the exact implementation - I'd be thrilled just to be able
to access an entire song at a moment's notice.  :)

Title:
  Display all song slides (panic button)

Status in OpenLP:
  New

Bug description:
  New Wishlist Item
  Severity: Minor to Moderate

  Request:
  I couldn't find this discussed/reported anywhere, so I believe this is a new request.  I would really like to have a Display All (Panic Mode) button in the Live View for songs that would display the entire song regardless of specified Verse Order.  I picture it going to the right of the Go To button.

  Rationale:
  Sometimes the worship team will decide to play a few verses of a hymn, for example, verses 1-4 & 6 of Amazing Grace.  Accordingly, I'll set the Verse Order to "V1 V2 V3 V4 V6".  But during the worship service, the band might instead play verses 1-6.  I currently have no way to quickly access V5, and have to Blank to Theme (T), edit the song to include verse 5, re-send it to Live, select V5, and unBlank Theme.  What I'm picturing is adding a toggle button that appends/replaces the current view of the song with the unordered song (keeping the current selection the same).  If I encounter the above scenario and have such a Panic button, I would click that and select V5 - much quicker than the current method.
