I've created a command in the Lyrics menu to insert a verse mirroring an
already present verse.
One slight wrinkle, the verse to be mirrored has to be on an earlier
staff.
Not a serious impediment, though: consider that you can create a
non-printing staff at the top of the system and insert many snippets of
text all in separate verses. Then in the printing staffs you can insert
whichever of these you wish, in any order, interspersed with actual
typed-in text. More flexible than any may need perhaps, but that is how
it has come out.

But for the straight-forward use it is very sweet. You type in the verse
once and then on a later staff you just use this command and it creates
a verse mirroring the one you typed in. Any corrections to the original
verse are automatically there in the Print View.
