Greg, AFAIK, there isn't an automatic way to vertically center-align the lyrics. However, here's a little function (\dropLyrics) that makes it easier that I created based on an entry in the LSR. It works best when the refrain is found within the verse that is closest (ABOVE) to the center poin

Hello, everybody: I haven't been able to find a solution for this that works or that doesn't generate an error. I would like the chorus lyrics to align in the middle of the verses, rather than below them. So in this case, it would end up somewhere between the two verse lines. Another option would
