If you wanted each press of READ with U or READ with O to move you between verses, you *would* have to insert the Binding Space between the sentences of the verses. So, if, for example, the first verse had three sentences, you'd insert a Binding Space between Sentence 1 and Sentence 2, another between Sentence 2 and Sentence 3, and then, at the end of Sentence 3, you'd tap ENTER to produce a carriage return which would separate the end of Verse 1 with the beginning of Verse 2. You would continue the process of inserting a Binding Space between the sentences of a verse, and separating the end of a verse from the beginning of another with carriage returns. In hymns with choruses, an indentation of the chorus would help to differentiate it from the verses when one is reading with the Braille display while using the cursor navigation commands to move between parts of the hymn, as one can immediately tell that the chorus, unlike the verses, does not start displaying on cell 1 of the display. Anyway, back to songs with just verses, and this is just a suggestion which you don't have to follow, but if you wanted to make sure you hadn't done something like perhaps accidentally skipping a verse by pressing READ with U/O twice quickly, and you didn't know the beginnings of every verse, you could type the verse number before the verse to indicate which verse it is (the number 1 before Verse 1 of a song, the number 2 before Verse 2 of the same song, etc.); if you just put the number without a period, you wouldn't necessarily *have* to have a Binding Space in between the numbers because the "Sentence and Paragraph" mode only considers something the end of a sentence if there is a period and a regular SPACE after it, so you would only have to place a Binding Space if you put a period after your numbers.
I appologize because, reading back through my message now, I see that I did indeed imply that one only had to insert a Binding Space for hymns with verses and a chorus. However, in order for the READ with U/O commands to correctly move you to the beginnings of the verses, even if the hymn does not have a chorus, the Binding Space and carriage return must still be placed accordingly.
