  • Enter the song verses one below the other. Standard features of common word processors are available.
  • When a verse is too long to fit on a single slide, split it in half by skipping a line.
  • To specify whether this is a verse or a chorus, type V1, V2, V3 for a verse, or C, or C1, for a chorus.
  • To insert a non-breaking space, press Ctrl+Shift+Space (Windows standard shortcut).
  • A non-breaking space is represented by a red highlighted “_”.
  • A non-breaking space requires VideoPsalm to keep the words on the same line to prevent sentences being cut at the wrong place.

A song verse can be of one of the following types:
