It's only one bar in the middle. I'd like to
get it onto one page --- the only obvious to me alternative would mean
repeating the verse music after the repeat, so you'd have:
|: verse ... | normal_ending || chorus ... :| verse ... | final_ending ||
^^^^^^^_____________same as________________^^^^^^^^^^
instead of my preferred:
+------------++-----------+
| vv1,2 || v 3 |
Fine
|: verse .... | normalend || finalend || chorus ... | .... :|
I prefer the latter as a musician because:
-- it's shorter (no need for a page turn)
-- it's obvious how many times to play the various parts
-- it's really easy to skip over one bar in the middle.
-- it shows the structure of the music better. In *this* case
the main difference is that the first note of the chorus comes at the
end of `normalend'; finalend is just a semibreve in the voice parts,
and an arpeggio in the accompaniments.
