Thats a good idea!

Lets dive into the lily-code and search for oppertunities!

This would give also the option of splitting verse-lines with an arbitrary
character. In our church-hymn-books (Kirchengesangbuch) the verse-lines a
divided by '/'. So the output could look like:
e.g.
Tochter Zion, freue dich, / jauchze laut,
Jerusalem. / Sieh, dein König kommt zu /
dir, / ja, er kommt, der Friedefürst. /
Tochter Zion, freue dich, / jauchze laut,
Jerusalem.
Well I am happy with the solution found by Jakob, you and anybody else who
contributed ;-)
But we should try to find other options ;-)
Best regards,
