Wow! That's dedication. We certainly tailor to our preferred order, number of repeats etc. Also correct to British spelling where necessary ('Saviour' probably being the most regular correction). We prefer to get an entire verse or chorus on a slide if possible - don't understand this two lines per slide thing at all - and we remove most of the "oh Yeahs" and "oh, oh, ohs".
And I hate centred text with a passion... always left justified.
All that said, I can normally customise a song downloaded from Song Select in about 5 minutes, but with around 200 songs (and growing) that our leaders still like to draw from, that's quite a bit of time. What you're doing though is next level and you wouldn't want to lose that effort.
A simple report or export facility, from a database which must exist, just seems like a no-brainer to me.

I think the two lines per slide might be especially for churches that stream and want to overlay the lyrics on top of video of the service without covering up the video. For everyone else I agree it's not ideal!
I also would really, really like the ability to export our database. We are working with a songbook of over 600 songs and have spent hours correcting errors from the input database we started with, checking the lyrics etc, as well as the usual formatting for display. We would like to share our updates and corrections with another congregation that used the same original database, and I would like to have the songs on my personal account as well as the church account. In addition to the backup reasons others have mentioned. I think the ability to access and export our own song database should be fundamental to any presentation software.
