Hello,

I think it's best practice to use curly braces around the differing parts, and 
place the common ending centered between the outermost stanzas. However, I must 
consider it a desideratum for lilypond to provide an interface for this. It is 
a major task to fit this into the current architecture, though, and I couldn't 
think about a solution yet. It would probably involve entering all stanzas in 
one compound expression somehow.
In the meantime: If you have an odd number of stanzas, it's simple to just put 
the common part after the middle stanza. If unfortunately the number is even 
:-), perhaps put it after the first stanza and insert something like 
Firstsyllabeofrefrain... in the other stanzas?
Or did anyone come up with a brilliant solution already, which I hitherto 
failed to notice?

Yours, Simon

 I found a score where there are three lines of lyrics (1,2, 3) and then,
 after beat 7, there is just ONE (common) line of a common lyrics. like the
 example below:

 lyrics for first stanza |
 lyrics for second stanza |
 lyrics for third stanza | common ending
 lyrics for fourth stanza | 

 I've searched on Beyond bars but found nothing about a "RULE" to follow in
 these situations. What could be done? Is it acceptable to put the "common
 ending" on the first stanza? Or should the "common ending" be put at the
 heigt of the sond, or third stanza? Or there MUST be a curly bracket? Beyond
 bars (2011 ed) doesn't say nothing. Thanks.
