LyX places new lines between stanzas. At the end of lines I use C-Enter,
at the end of stanzas , just Enter.

Attached are two examples. example.lyx and example2.lyx. They should
look identical when viewed in lyx, but example.lyx is messed up when
viewed in gv. The diffence is that I put a page-break below at the end
of the last line in the first poem in example, and page-break above at
the beginning of the title of the second poem.
Thanks, Garst
