Yes, sorry; I should have done that to start with. Thanks to your I'm
nearly there. This example ...

.. has all the bits I want, as shown in
http://www.lawshouse.org/music/minimal_example.jpg but the words to the
bridge are on a third line of lyrics, and the words to the second
section of the song are on two more lines. I want the bridge lyrics to
be on the "top" line of music (in line with verse 1), and the same for
verse 4, with verse 5 on the second line.
I've experimented with \voiceOne but that doesn't have the required
effect. I suppose I could just write it as three verses, using \skip
to get the words into the right places horizontally; but it seems like a
kludge so if there's a better way I'd like to know what it is.
