I have a case where I have three measures that I have to score with two voices. When I try to add the lyrics, I can figure out how to align the fist verse with the first voice and the second verse with the second voice. I've attached a small sample file and a graphic revealing what I get.

The first verse is fine. The second verse, however, lines up under the first and that's not what I want. Here I should have the second verse aligned with the second voice (the smaller notes).



Specifically, the "m" should be under the g with the descending stem, and the "n" should be associated with the dotted quarter note "a", and so on...

Any ideas how to go about getting that?

Thanks,
Ed
