The 'Optional Split' marker will only put a slide break in there if the full number of lines per verse is greater than the number of lines that can fit on a slide (as set in the template). Without one of these markers, if the verse is longer than the screen, then it will just have the 'overflow' on the second screen, which could result in something like the last line of the verse being on a separate slide or something.<br><br>Thus, if you want to put a slide break into a verse at all times whenever it is projected regardless of template, you will need to put a new verse in place. You can, however, use the same verse designator. So, for instance, you could have a song that looks like:<br><br>---[Verse:1]---<br>Be Thou my vision,<br>O Lord of my heart;<br>naught be all else to me<br>save that Thou art.<br>---[Verse:1]---<br>Thou my best thought<br>by day or by night,<br>waking or sleeping<br>Thy presence, my might.<br>---[Verse:2]---<br>Be Thou my breastplate<br>my sword for the fight<br>. . . (and soforth)<br><br><br><br>This will give you a song with only four lines per slide, where the song has eight lines per verse. If you had:<br><br>---[Verse:1]---<br>Be Thou my vision,<br>O Lord of my heart;<br>naught be all else to me<br>save that Thou art.<br>[---]<br>Thou my best thought<br>by day or by night,<br>waking or sleeping<br>Thy presence, my might.<br><br>then if your template allowed 8 or more lines on your slide, then all eight lines would appear. If your template only allowed 7 or fewer lines, then it would break at 4 lines.<br><br>I hope that's somewhat understandable. If not, just ask; if I've got the wrong end of your problem, then if you give us some screenshots then hopefully we can help better!<br>
