If there were a way to put each line into this script... or each line within a certain marker? I'm not a programmer, it seems like an easy task, but I don't know.

There are probably a number of variants out there, but something roughly like this would be one simple approach (for selecting several lines and using LaunchBar 'Instant Send' (dbl option tap, for example) to process them in one batch, making each line into a separate task).
Code:
-- LaunchBar script for parsing several lines of selected text to several tasks
on handle_string(str)
tell application id "OFOC"
if str ≠ "" then
-- PARSE TASKS
set lstParas to paragraphs of str
tell default document
repeat with oLine in lstParas
parse tasks with transport text oLine
end repeat
end tell
-- AND REPORT SUCCESS WITH A GROWL NOTIFICATION IF GROWL IS RUNNING
my Growlify("Create OF Tasks from text", "OF Tasks created", ¬
((count of lstParas) as string) & " tasks created in OmniFocus:" & return & return & str)
end if
end tell
end handle_string
on Growlify(strApp, strNote, strMsg)
tell application id "sevs"
if (count of (processes where bundle identifier is "com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp")) > 0 then
tell application id "com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp"
register as application strApp all notifications {strNote} ¬
default notifications {strNote} ¬
icon of application "OmniFocus"
notify with name strNote title strNote ¬
description strMsg application name strApp
end tell
end if
end tell
end Growlify

Reason: 'dbl opt click' --> dbl opt *tap* (for instant send)
