Hello, I have a piece with two verses in a repeat. The second time through there is a slight alteration in one of the measures which adds additional notes. I've been able to accomplish this using a temporary voice, but I'm not sure if this is the best way as the words "ma - mo mu" end up shifted down another line. Here is the smallest section that I could provide, but I wonder if I can align the text better?
