Re: lyrics on skips

[Aaron]

This I assume is for second or third verses??

How would I place the entire poem at the bottome of the notation.

This is done a lot for world music/folk songs where the melody repeats
and only the words change.

Can I do this in Lily or must it be done elsewhere. (lilybook, latex
etc.??)

Thanks
Aaron
