[be] Multiple Verse USFM problem in export to SWORD

[Luke & Ruth Schroeder]

I have had this problem with taking USFM to SWORD as well as taking USFM 
to GoBible and was wondering if anyone would know of an immediate 
solution or if the programs have to be updated.

Standard format in both translation teams I'm connected with for the 
first verse of a chapter is: \v 1

Some translation issues require that two verses be translated into one 
sentence and therefore the translation must within the text label it 1-3 
etc.
Standard format in both translation teams projects I'm connected with 
for verse 1-3 being translated is as follows
\v 1-3

My problem is that this apparently is not recognized. So in my wife's 
translation language the original translator combined the genealogies of 
Matthew 1 like this. When Matthew 1:2-6 are combined, then SWORD leaves 
verses 3-6 empty instead of noticing that they were combined in from 
verse 2 until 6.

Anyone have any solutions?  Is there better coding for USFM or is there 
a solution that doesn't involve program changes, but changes on my side 
of things.

Any expertise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Luke
