I understand how to control widowed and orphaned lines when the text is 
free-flowing within a paragraph, with line ends determined by OOo.  
However, I'm producing a song-book where end-of-line control is 
necessarily mine, not automatic.

I'm having trouble finding a satisfactory way of preventing song 
titles, single/double lines of verses, and 'chorus' and other labels 
from appearing alone at start or end of page.

If I end a line with a simple 'return', that's means each line is a new 
paragraph for OOo, and the widow and orphan control doesn't apply (at 
least not in any useful way). If I use shift-return, OOo treats the 
whole such as a unit, and refuses to split at all across page 
boundaries.

The only way I can see at present is to manually format the whole lot 
with return, shift-return and 'keep with next para'; but obviously 
changes to the text are then a nightmare!

I assume someone, somewhere must have met this already - is there 
something obvious I'm missing please? Or are there any other thoughts 
on laying out verse so page splits behave reasonably?
