Lyrics help

[Arle Lommel]

Hello all,

I've got a pretty basic question, but looking through the manuals and trying things out hasn't seemed to help me get closer to a solution.

I'm transcribing some songs I collected in the field and I need to have a volta repeat in the music where the lyrics for two verses are listed under the repeated section and then for the rest of the song has a single line. I've figured out ways to attach two lines to the entire song (and obviously ways to attach one line to the entire song), but not a way to have two lines for just part of the song.

To be clearer, here is a little ASCII diagram of what I am after:

|: SOME MUSIC GOES HERE :|  SOME MORE MUSIC IN THE SAME VOICE |

1. Lyrics to verse one                    3. Lyrics to voice three

2. Lyrics to verse two

| SOME MORE MUSIC GOES HERE IN THE SAME VOICE |

4. Lyrics to verse four         4. Lyrics to verse five…   etc.

I imagine the answer is simple, but none of the example or snippets I have found seem to address how to do this and all my attempts to figure out a solution have led to strange side effects. (Also, I want automatic alignment of the lyrics to the voice since I'm constantly tweaking the transcription and don't want to adjust values in two places, but the closest solution I've found so far—I don't remember now exactly what I did—lost the automatic alignment.)

So sorry if I've missed something obvious, but this item that should be as simple as anything is eluding me.

Best regards,

Arle Lommel
