7 years ago As a temporary measure, as long as there is no poetry markup in any book, it might be worth using a workaround with the \pmr tag. Thus:
\pmr \qs ਸਲਹ\qs* ॥
This is not ideal, but it may work out better as a short term solution that can be properly handled by USFM to OSIS converters to give a right alignment of the "Selah".

7 years ago Important:
The paragraph tags before the "Selah" words had been inserted by my TextPipe filter.
See issue #15
They have now been removed.

7 years ago Could you please try adding the paragraph tags before the "Selah" words using TextPipe filter?
The word Selah usually occurs seventy-one times in thirty-nine of the Psalms and three times in Habakkuk 3: altogether 74 times in the Bible.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selah
The Punjabi Bible only contains 70 instances of the pattern ਸਲਹ ॥ (69 in Psalms and 1 in Habakkuk). This implies that there are 4 either missing or mis-spelled.
There are 68 instances of
\p ਸਲਹ ॥In Psalm 9, there is also 1 instance of the translation meaning "Higgaon Selah"
\p ਹਿੱਗਯੋਨ ਸਲਹ ॥This makes up a total of only 69 in the Psalms!
It turns out that two of the Selah words in Habakkuk are spelled differently!
\p ਸਲਾਹ ॥These should be corrected to match the others.
That leaves 2 places in the Psalms where the \p ਸਲਹ ॥ must still be missing! A thorough search must be made to locate the deficient locations.
Now refer to the USFM User Reference.
Tip: Go and look at the two examples.
The word ਸਲਹ should therefore be wrapped in the character style **\qs_...\qs***
NB. The paragraph marker \p isn't really required, providing poetry tags \q# are used in all poetry passages in the Punjabi Bible. At present there are none!
