I've figured out how to create addition vertical space between staves, but how does one do this for lyrics? I have two verses and, although there is plenty of space between the staves, the two verses of lyrics are scrunched together. They are readable the way it is now, but they would be more easily readable with more space between them. Besides, it would just look better. So, how do I give the two verses a little breathing room, as it were?

When the 2nd verse is selected, you can drag one or more of the handles to the left to modify the baseline of that verse. You can also do it by the numbers in the dialogue box used for adjusting the lyric baselines.

OK, I see how I can re-adjust the vertical spacing of individual words in each verse. But how do I do the entire verse at once. Every single word in the verse needs to be re-spaced and if I do each one "by hand" it will take forever and probably look sloppy to boot.
