RFE: Add 'text' as item that could be added to the schedule

Currently, you can add Songs, videos etc to the schedule. What I'd like to see is a new item for TEXT.

In our church, the minister uses verses from different bibles as readings during his sermon. He wants the congregation to read them out loud. We currently haven't found bibles that we can import into SongBeamer that match the ones he uses, so we've been putting the readings in a powerpoint file and adding that to the schedule.

As an experiment I decided to add the reading as a 'song' and it works, sort of. We always put the book/chapter/verse after the reading and right justify it. For example

A glad heart
makes a happy face.
Proverbs 15:13 (NIV)

but putting it in a 'song' causes the whole thing to be justified only one way.

It would be nice to be able to import a bible verse or other text into a item in the schedule and have a little control over each paragraphs justification and text formating.

You can use SongBeamer html for changing the text alignment:

A glad heart
makes a happy face.
<align:right>Proverbs 15:13 (NIV)
