Hi Chris,
Sorry, while the crash has gone, the function is not correct - at all.
\cp is meant to give a printed chapter number which has no influence on the
underlying counting of verses and chapters. How exactly to represent it in
OSIS, we would need to figure out, but it should not influence the creation of
subsequent osisIDs. I would think <hi type="bold"> is probably the best for our
purposes. The OSIS reference is not exactly helpful at this point, nor does it
reflect the reality of module making.
Right now the code does two things: It replaces in the sample below the chapter
number 1 with an A for the subsequent verse's osisID ("Esth.A.1" instead of
"Esth.1.1") and it leaves the \cp A in place. This is both not right - both acc
OSIS reference and acc the desires of the USFM writer in my example.

Here is the currently generated OSIS:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<osis xmlns="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace"; xmlns:xsi="h
<osisText osisRefWork="Bible" xml:lang="und" osisIDWork="Pohnapo">
<header>
<work osisWork="Pohnapo"/>
</header>
<div type="book" osisID="Esth">
<title type="runningHead">ESTER</title>
<chapter osisID="Esth.A" sID="Esth.A"/>
\cp A
<div type="section"><title>En Mordekai eh Ouraman</title>
<p>
<verse osisID="Esth.A.1" sID="Esth.A.1"/>Mordekai,<verse eID="Esth.A.1"/></p><c
</div>
</div>
</osisText>
</osis>
--------------------
I think the best way of expressing above usfm should be something along
following lines:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<osis xmlns="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace"; xmlns:xsi="h
<osisText osisRefWork="Bible" xml:lang="und" osisIDWork="Pohnapo">
<header>
<work osisWork="Pohnapo"/>
</header>
<div type="book" osisID="Esth">
<title type="runningHead">ESTER</title>
<chapter osisID="Esth.1" sID="Esth.1"/>
<hi type="bold">A</hi>
<div type="section"><title>En Mordekai eh Ouraman</title>
<p>
<verse osisID="Esth.1.1" sID="Esth.1.1"/>Mordekai,<verse eID="Esth.1.1"/></p><c
</div>
</div>
</osisText>
</osis>
----------------------
The alternative would be to use one of the messy constructions shown in
Appendix I of the OSIS reference for two reference systems, but this is not
only very ugly, but will fail to elicit any support in the engine, nor likely
gain such support within the near, mid-term or long-term future.
Yours
Peter
