It's only one bar in the middle.  I'd like to
get it onto one page --- the only obvious to me alternative would mean
repeating the verse music after the repeat, so you'd have:

  |: verse ... | normal_ending || chorus ... :| verse ... | final_ending ||

     ^^^^^^^_____________same as________________^^^^^^^^^^

instead of my preferred:
                

                      +------------++-----------+
                      | vv1,2      || v 3       |
                                        Fine
        |: verse .... |  normalend || finalend  || chorus ... | .... :|         

I prefer the latter as a musician because:
        -- it's shorter (no need for a page turn)
        -- it's obvious how many times to play the various parts
        -- it's really easy to skip over one bar in the middle.
        -- it shows the structure of the music better.  In *this* case
the main difference is that the first note of the chorus comes at the
end of `normalend'; finalend is just a semibreve in the voice parts,
and an arpeggio in the accompaniments.
