I am entering a song - the Beatle’s “Let It Be - into lilypond where there there is a long repeat - “\repeat volta 4 {}”, but there are only 2 alternatives. Lillypond labels the first alternative “1-3”, and the second alternative “4””

But in the song the first alternative is for stanzas 1 and 3, second alternative for verses 2 and 4. 

For those who recall the song the first and third verse ends with “Whis — per words of wis — dom, let it be. (Verse 2) And when __“. The second and fourth verses end with “There will an answer, let it be.”

I can’t figure out how to set the stanza numbers for the first alternative to “1.3”,  and for the second alternative to “2.4”. I looked at the manual, and the only info I found seemed to be pretty complicated, repeatCommands to a scheme style list, which has some pretty obscure syntax for a non-scheme programmer.

Is there some simple way to do this?
