I prefer using multiple verses with the same baseline (say -144 for 
all 10 verses). The reason is that if you have to edit or change 
things or even screw something up, the damage is limited to that 
verse and you can easily clear a section and re-click enter the 
syllables.

This method has taken me through 3 operas and a few vocal pieces. I 
don't generally need verses to be on top of each other.

Damage limitation is the what it is all about!
