I have done this with linked parts -- you go to manage parts and add the vocal staff to the part definition (putting it above or below as needed). Then in layout you can adjust as you need, hide unused staves, etc. This way is pretty straight forward, no copying/pasting and when you make changes they show up in the parts.
