When it comes to typesetting practice, I think it is just as common to to
typeset this kind of situation without a brace (in particular if you add a
line break before the chorus). However, if you really want a brace,
you could do something along the lines of the trick described in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-03/msg00312.html
(I have just added the same example to the LSR).

Good day.
I'm *very* new to lilypond, and I have no musical background. (Just
thought I'd get that out of the way). My wife does though, and some of
her loose sheet music is getting ratty, so I thought I'd transcribe
some of it into a file for lilypond so I could print it out and it
would nice and clean.
I've come across many problems while doing this, but I've been able to
find answers to all my questions (by either reading the lilypond
website or searching for clues using google) save one. I just can't
for the life of me figure out how to combine two sets of verses into
one centered chorus. I know this may sound strange and/or anal, but a
picture is worth a thousand words, so with the following code:
\relative c' {
\new Staff <<
\key es \major
\time 4/4
{
c c c c
r d d d
f2 f
}
\addlyrics {
\set stanza = "1. "
This is verse one.
This is the chor -- us.
}
\addlyrics {
\set stanza = "2. "
This is verse two.
}
>>
}
I produce this output:
Combining verses into one chorus
What I'm looking to achieve is this:
Combining verses into one chorus
I just used some image editing software to produce the above image.
Can anyone shed any light on how I can achieve the desired results?
Thank you very much for your time.
