Do you have anything against just splitting off the chorus from the
verses thus:
%%
myText = \markup { \tiny \italic "Repeat Chorus after every verse " }
\paper { ragged-bottom = ##t }
chorus= \new Voice = "chorus" \relative c'' { g a b c d }
verses = \new Voice = "verses" \relative c'' { g a b c d }
chorusLyrics = \new Lyrics \lyricsto "chorus" {
These are the chorus words
}
firstVerse = \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" {
The words to my song
}
secondVerse = \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" {
Next verse words go here
}
\score{
<<
\new Staff { \chorus }
\chorusLyrics
>>
\layout{}
}
\myText
\pageBreak
\markup { " " }
\myText
\markup { " " }
\markup { " " }
\score{
<<
\new Staff { \verses }
\firstVerse
\secondVerse
>>
\layout{}
}
%%
Cheers,
David.

on the page. However, if you have your page laid out roughly how you'd like
and there is room to place text in some whitespace, you can do something
like this (warning! it's a band-aid, not necessarily a solution):
chorus = {
\once \override TextScript.extra-offset = #'(X . Y)
g_\markup { \with-dimension #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0) \myText } a b c d \break
}
and then adjust X and Y to move your text to the approximate desired
location. You might try it with or without the "\with-dimensions ..." part
to see which way works better for you.
HTH a little,
Abraham

I'm only guessing where you want to place it (since you didn't say more
than "between"), but if you want it at the bottom of the chorus/verse
section, then just attach it to a note on that particular staff and direct
it down/up-ward, respectively:
chorus = \new Voice = "chorus" \relative c'' {
g a b c d_\myText \break
}
verses = \new Voice = "verses" \relative c'' {
g^\myText a b c d \break
}
HTH,
Abraham

Insert text between staves
How can I insert this text in between staves?
mytext = \markup { \tiny \italic "Repeat Chorus after every
verse " }
The only place I can seem to place it is *outside* the score
- either before or after it. I've tried putting it in other
places too, to no avail. If I put it before or after the
score it just appears at the top of the score on the first page.
