That's true, and I suggest you follow this design.

However, in most church music, normally only one verse is typeset
in the score, and the other verses are typeset below the first verse.

If the page needs to be turned, usually the first verse on the new
set of pages will be typeset with a score, again.

I usually solve this (jumping between music and words) by having
my thumb 'near' the current line, and quickly glancing to the music
while singing. Ofcourse, since church music is usually 'easy' enough
to learn in 2 minutes (or less), this is ... workable. But definately not
optimal!

Christ van Willegen
