<br>
As some folks are aware, we've had an ongoing saga about
the "Optional Split" button in the song editor. Many
people seem to think that it meant that a particular verse
would be split at that particular location every time (no
matter if there was or wasn't enough space in the slide).
Along the way we've had people ask for a way to force a
verse to split (much like some people expect the optional
split to work).<br>
<br>
Between Olli and Tim, they've implemented the second split
option. This is great, but I'm not sure that the current
nomenclature for the buttons is correct.<br>
<br>
Currently, the buttons are labelled "Optional Split" and
"Divide". After some careful thought, my wife suggested
"Auto Split" and "Force Split". Does anyone have any other
ideas?<span class="m_8306083722833747906gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
