I am using PMX and musixlyr.  I've used the combo to typeset simple
songs, but now I want to typeset a song with three verses with different
lyrics, all of which go into the same lyrics for the chorus, and then
extra lyrics after the last chorus for the coda.  I have two staffs.
The beginmel and endmel commands work when I only have one staff, but
not when I have two.  The lyrics are just attached to one staff.  I've
been using the setup shown in auxl-exa.pmx, but with two staffs, the
\EM\ and \BM\ directives are completely ignored.

So basically, what I want lyrics-wise looks something like this:

This is verse 1 blah blah blah
This is verse 2 blah blah blah  Here's the same chorus for all three
This is verse 3 blah blah blah

So, in the --- section at the top, I have

\assignlyrics1{verse1,verse2,verse3}

Later I want to change it to

\assignlyrics1{chorus}

or

\assignlyrics{verse1} % verse 1 only!

if I stick the new line

\\assignlyrics1{chorus}\

at the appropriate bar in the middle of the PMX code, it just ignores
the previous assignment, ignoring
verse1,2,3 and just tried to start the chorus lyrics from the start.

Help!
