Thanks for the help.
I've got the multiple verses printing on separate lines now, but the second
and third verses are printed below the music, while the first verse is in
the middle. Suggestions for how to get all the verses in the same place?
Also, compiling is saying:
Interpreting music...
/home/JamesMoore/lyrics/Fum.ly:21:21: warning: no one to print a repeat
brace:
\repeat fold 3 {
}
I'm assuming that this error is just saying that there's not going to be a
repeat bar printed for lyrics. That's normal, right?
