extra spacing between verse and chorus

extra spacing between verse and chorus

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

Please, help me with the following. The \vbox and \bgroup\egroup tags are intend to keep a verse on a page, but they also add extra spacing (an extra line?) between the verse and chorus. How to get rid of it?

\definestartstop
  [verse]
  [before=\vbox\bgroup\startlines,
   after=\stoplines\egroup]

\definestartstop
  [chorus]
  [before=\startnarrower\startlines,
   after=\stoplines\stopnarrower]
   
\starttext

\startverse
We all came out to Montreux,
On the Lake Geneva shoreline.
To make records with a mobile,
We didn't have much time.
But Frank Zappa and the Mothers,
Were at the best place around,
But some stupid with a flare gun,
Burned the place to the ground.
\stopverse
\startchorus
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water...
\stopchorus

\stoptext  

-- 
Best,
 Vyatcheslav
