Hi, Terri. I don't think that will work, though. My hymns are separated by
paragraphs with each verse and/or chorus. But, if you were at the bottom of
verse three, how could you quickly jump to the chorus just using the thumb
keys. They only jump by display line. I don't think you can make the thumb
keys jump by paragraph.
If I am wrong, please let me know how one can change the thumb keys quickly
to jump by paragraph then put them back to normal when not using the hymnal.

Dear Maria and List,
The method you described sounds complicated and I think it would be a lot
more work to set things up.
I think putting each verse in its own paragraph, as if you were reading a
book or the Bibles I email to people, is an easy and natural method and
using the thumb keys to move up and down is more convenient than using
keyboard commands because you don't have to take your hands off the display.

> Well, you would have to insert a Binding Space between each sentence of
your verse/chorus by deleting the regular space between the sentences and
replacing it with a Binding Space, which you produce by pressing CONTROL
with SPACE. At the end of the first verse, hit ENTER for a new line, and
indent the chorus. At the end of the chorus, hit ENTER, so the second verse
is not indented. Hit ENTER after the end of the second verse, so the third
verse is not indented, and repeat the procedure with all verses. As Laura
pointed out, placing a Binding Space between all sentences of a verse/chorus
will make the BN read each verse/chorus as a single, in the case of
"Sentence and Paragraph" reading mode, sentence, so you could, in your case,
use the READ with U and READ with O commands to move between verses/chorus
(and this works in the default "Sentence and Paragraph" mode, so you don't
have to change it). So, if your cursor was at the beginning of Verse 1, you
could press READ wi!

again to get to Verse 2; when you're finished with Verse 2, you would hit
READ with U once to get back to the Chorus, then hit READ with O twice to
get to Verse 3, then hit READ with U twice to get back to the Chorus, etc.
(assuming the hymn goes Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, etc., although you
would move accordingly if it did not, of course).

returns/indents in the appropriate places for every song. I guess the
process takes less time when one is typing the words in and inserting the
Binding Spaces/carriage returns/indents in the appropriate places as they
go, but for existing text, the only thing to do would be to go in and make
the appropriate adjustment. It would take a while, but it works nicely
(I've tried it).
