I'm trying to typeset music and lyrics but I'm having troubles and I don't know what to try next. At one point in the piece a few measures are repeated but with different lyrics. I have managed to get the first set of lyrics to print between the staves but the second set of lyrics appears under both staves. I want both sets of lyrics between the staves. I've tried to typeset it but can't get the 2nd verse to appear between the staves. What I tried is attached below (I stripped away everything that I think is irrelevant but it's still pretty long).
