Yes, if Bibledit could support \p, \q1, and osis references, it would be a great tool. Since you can't preserve paragraphs and linebreaks, though, it's not very useful (unless you don't have those in your document). I think in the meantime I will go ahead and work on usfm2osis.pl. I got notes working well tonight, though I am still working out how to have $n (footnote number) return to 0 at the beginning of each book.

I also just tried to compile a module, and it caused a segmentation fault. I will have to find out what is causing the problems and see if I can make sure the fundamentals are working well.

Chris, why do you recommend SFMToOSIS over usfm2osis.pl?
    

If usfm2osis.pl gives you better results, then by all means, use it. But 
SFMToOSIS was developed in close collaboration with a couple of 
different Bible societies using the defined mapping between USFM and OSIS.

usfm2osis.pl is based on a one-off tool written specifically for a few 
work-for-hire conversions done for ABS. It wasn't originally written for 
USFM specifically and lacks support for a lot of USFM markers because at 
the time, I was working without the benefit of any USFM documentation. 
Furthermore, the code itself is a bit of a mess.

  
I may try my (inexperienced) hand at augmenting usfm2osis.pl.
    

By all means, if you can improve usfm2osis.pl, that would be welcomed. I 
have a feeling our hopes may ultimately lie in Bibledit's SFM to OSIS 
conversion potential.
