Request: Make "Paged View" columns wider

After using the wonderful new Paged View for a couple of days, I think the width of each column needs to be increased, say from 10 words (average) per line to 12 words.  Poetic lines are getting cut off and wrapped around everywhere, and it's annoying.

I'm now thinking having the ability for the user to adjust the column width (or number of columns) may not be such a bad idea.

Thanks,

Peter

    You are able to customize it to a degree by dragging your window size wider until just before it adds another column (or widen it until it adds another column and then back it down ever so slightly until the extra column disappears). 

    I am in love with Paged View and have not personally found an annoyance with wrapping even in poetry (at least not in reading Psalms). Can you post a screen shot of what you have found annoying.

    I want them narrower, can only get 2 cols on approx, where 3 would be my prefered opion, hopefully we can adjust it between 2-5 columns in the final release,

    Yes, I found that I can use the Table of Content pane to indirectly influence the number of columns and column width.  But I'm having problem with Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology.  Not sure why L4 decides to format this as 4 columns while the NIV (e.g. Psalms) is formatted comfortably as 3 columns.  Here's a screen shot:
