+Placing verses below the scores
+</H2>
+<P>
+Sometimes, particularly with songs that have a lot of verses,
+you may want to put some verses of lyrics as blocks of
+text below the music. Probably the easiest way to do this
+is using "print" or "paragraph" statements inside
+<A HREF="prnttext.html#block">a "block."</A>
+<BR><PRE>
+block
+print (_win.w + 30, _win.n - 15) "2. "
+print "\
+Here is the first line
+and the second line
+and the third line.
+"
+print (_win.w + 90, _win.n - 15) "3. "
+print "\
+Here is another verse's first line
+and its second line
+and its third line.
+"
+</PRE><BR>
+</P>

+You may need to use a little trial-and-error to determine the
+coordinates to use on the print statements,
+but you only have to determine one coordinate per verse,
+and with a bit of practice it gets easier to find the right values.
+Since the "print" statement is being used, the font and size will be
+determined by the
+<A HREF="param.html#size">size parameter</A>
+and
+<A HREF="param.html#font">font parameter,</A>
+rather than by
+<A HREF="param.html#lyrsize">lyricssize</A>
+and
+<A HREF="param.html#lyrfont">lyricsfont.</A>
+</P>

+If you also want chords symbols with these verses,
+you can do that too. It is easiest if you use Courier font,
+as shown in the example below, since its constant-width characters
+make it easy to line things up. If you use a proportional-width font,
+you will have to determine how to place the chords by trial and error.

+print (_win.w + 50, _win.n - 35) "3. "
+print "\f(CR)\
+C D7 G7
+This is the first line
+C F
+of the next verse
+B\(smflat)
+of the song.
