Songbeamer import: Chords start with second line

joe

This issue was already discussed, an @tbc made a fix: https://forums.openlp.org/discussion/comment/10338/#Comment_10338

But for me the problem still persists with the acutal developers edition: When importing from songbeamer, the chords often do not appear at the correct line but one line below. But for what reason? I looked the good and the bad Songbeamer files and hacked around a bit. And I found out that chords skipped a Text line every time when the slides were not seperated just by <br>

---

but by

---<br>Verse 1<br>

while its not important if ist "verse" or "Chorus" or "Bridge" or whatever. <br>

<h2>Workaround</h2>

So i chose about a dozen songs, opened the Songbeamer file and wherever i found a "Verse 1" or something like that, I added below it another line with a placeholder text: <br>

---<br>Verse 1<br>justfixingtheline<br>

Then I imported those Songs to Openlp, and ALL of them showed the chords correctly. I just had to edit every song again in OpenLP to remove the lines that said: "justfixingtheline"

<h2>Another observation</h2>

I also noticed that when I added Text lines and new slides (---) at the end of the songbeamer file, it messed up the chords, although those appear in prior lines. <br>

Thanks for reporting this! Could you provide some example files we can use for testing?

Of course: <br>

This is the version which does not work for me: https://pastebin.com/vqsce8SB <br>

This is the corrected version where I inserted 2 lines: https://pastebin.com/9P0PpE4P 

<br>

I changed the text for copyright reasons, but the number of the characters and the position of the whitespaces remains the same.

The text needs to be saved in a textfile, with the ending .sng<br>

I am afraid, the problem is still there with Openlp 3.1.2. @tgc can you reproduce it?
