I use Finale Mac v. 2012 and I have used the lyrics tool without problems many times. But now I need to put lyrics in 2 different lines, because the lyrics change when the melody is repeated (as shown in the figure attached).
I could not figure out how can I do that. The manual sometimes is very complicated to understand some easy tasks. Any help?

Put the top line in verse 1 and the bottom line in verse 2. Where there is only one lyric line, use verse 1.
