Yes, that works, thank you. Not as elegant a solution as I would like,
in that it mixes verse with refrain, but it works.

I am having difficulty layout satisfactorily a song that has 3 verses

It looks unsightly, and wastes space on the page. Neither NR nor LM
seem to address this case.
I don’t remember where in the docs (or elsewhere) I got this, but I
always do:
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
\verseOne
\chorus
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
\verseTwo
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
\verseThree
}
That way the chorus follows on the same line as verse 1.
You can’t just unfold this... but I typically have enough other
variations between print and MIDI that I put the lyrics together by hand
for that:
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
\verseOne
\chorus
\verseTwo
\chorus
\verseThree
\chorus
}
