Hi, MusixTeXers and other music typesetters.

This question is about how to represent a song in Western Notation
(standard sheet music) rather than about how to code it.

I've been given a song that has the following structure:

    Intro (chords only, 4 bars)
    4 line verse
    refrain
    8 line verse
    refrain
    bridge
    repeat Intro
    8 line verse
    refrain

The 8 line verses start with the same 4 melody line as the 4 line
verse, then go on to a different melody line for lines 5-8.

Now obviously I could represent it as one long, linear piece with no
repeated portions.  But I'd like to

    1. fit it all on two pages if I can, and
    2. minimize the amount of coding

I don't particularly mind showing the Intro chord sequence twice, but
I'd like to avoid repeating the first 4 lines of the verse melody when
I get to the second verse (the first one with 8 lines).
