Line break support to chord overview

Without hearing the music, I find it hard to sight-read chords if they don't line up with the chord display, e.g. if a verse or chorus starts in the middle of a line. If we can at least edit and add this manually I think it would be useful.

  I *think* I requested this years ago, but clearly it wasn't seen as important. I have been a paid subscriber for a long time, and feel like Chordify evolved a lot in the beginning, and now it's hit a brick wall in its maturity.

  I just want the ability to edit the layout of the chords to break them up by verses, choruses etc - seeing a single stream of chords doesn't help anyone. If I'm practicing verse 2 of a song today, where exactly is verse 2 in the page?

  I've used Chrordify to transcribe probably close to 200 songs, and this is the one factor slowing me down trying to learn a song.

  It seems like an essential thing to me. I understand that it may be hard to automatically detect song sections and insert line breaks at the right places. But at least the ability to add them manually would be a natural feature if you're already spending time to transcribe them.

  Fully agree

  I think what we are talking about here is the song structure or song order which is shown on every music song sheet and song chord sheet, including chord & lyrics websites.  Such as:

  Introduction

  Verse 1

  Verse 2

  Chorus 

  Verse 3

  Chorus

  Instrumental

  Chorus x 2

  Ending / Outro

  Wouldn't it be nice to add in as an EDIT a small typed-in caption where these occur so when everyone else goes into the song we all can see the song structure that I am refering to.  Even other nice things as playing aids such as:  Key Change, ACapella, Break or Pause etc etc.  These all help define a song.
