In English the term is Widows and Orphans. A widow is a short line at the end of a paragraph which appears on the next page/column. An orphan is the first line of a paragraph printed alone at the bottom of the previous page. The control for this can be set for any paragraph style. To set an

I think this is bad advice, effectively changing the document to one paragraph just does not sound right to me. The end goal would be changing all the text in each section to one paragraph. As these are song lyrics, that is quite reasonable. One would not expect each line of a song to be a
