OpenLyrics is a data format for christian worship songs: http://openlyrics.info/
It's already being used by a number of applications: http://openlyrics.info/examples.html

Maybe you can also support OpenLyrics import and export in WordsLive?

Thank you for having the courage to open the first issue here ;-)

I think OpenLyrics support would be a good thing to have and I will look into it! However, some features of the OpenLyrics format (tags that don't have an equivalent in the currently used native format) won't be supported, e.g. transliteration.

Thanks for looking into this :)
Most features of OpenLyrics are optional, so it's no problem if you don't support them.
Here are the required tags: http://openlyrics.info/dataformat.html#required-data-items

We would also love to have a generic C# library for OpenLyrics (there is currently one for Python and Java), so if you would like to create it, that would be most welcome :)

I've implemented this in master now. A release will be coming soon. If you have some OpenLyrics files, I'd appreciate if you try to import them and report any problems!

Great!
Once the release is there, I'll try it out.
