I notice the checklists has a long sentence list but no short sentence list. Is there a regular expression for counting the word breaks per sentence? I know how to count word breaks in my whole project but that isn’t a useful figure.

The process used to count words in a book (https://support.bible/12325/how-can-i-get-a-count-of-the-number-of-words-in-a-text?show=12325#q12325) can be used for a verse as well. One way to use this on a sentence would be to copy the sentence to an empty verse and then export.
