He has done presentations in MS Office that have the hymn in the background and the slides change with the lyrics but I have not found a way to do this in OOo and we have not tried to combine manual and automatic slide advancement in either.
Is what I am asking possible in OOo?

I'm using OOo 3.1.1 on a Mac, and it will absolutely let you combine manual and automatic slide transition in the same presentation.

If I click "Slide Show" and then "Slide Transition...", a pane opens in the right side of the program window that lets me choose specifics for the slide transition. That slide transition applies only from that slide to the next one that unless for some reason I click "Apply to All Slides" at the bottom of that pane.

In the "Advance Slide" portion of that pane, Select "On mouse click" for the slides you want to advance manually. Select "Automatically after" for the slides that have song lyrics which you want to advance at specific intervals (and, of course, specify the interval).

There is no simple "Apply" button just to make the transition happen for the one slide - as soon as you change a setting in the widgets, it's changed.
