so you can't have " " marks in the verses. I don't recall a lot about
lyrics - you are using them to make two or more words into one syllable,
I guess. I don't know if that is recommended, but there is/are some
other way(s) of doing it which you will have to use. 
I see that underscore does the trick so instead of "ate for me, O" you
write ate_for_me,_O

... and now you hit a bug with verses at end, namely I haven't filtered
out the _ when putting the verses at the end.

How to workaround that? Well, having created your Custom Layout you can
go into the LilyPond window and at the bottom you will see the verses
with underscores and you can replace them with spaces. You need to turn
off continuous typesetting and click the "Convert to LilyPond" button on
your custom layout so that it is editable LilyPond output.

Meanwhile I'll fix the bug, filtering out the _ characters. (It may be
possible to use some other sort of space, by the way, there are some
special space characters that might work).
