Hello,
I have used these settings (it prevents verses from splitting, and makes an indent for chorus):
\setupinterlinespace[line=1.5em]
%(optional, but looks better)
\definestartstop
[verse]
[before=\vbox\bgroup\startlines,
after=\stoplines\egroup]
\definestartstop
[chorus]
[before=\startnarrower\startlines,
after=\stoplines\stopnarrower]
but later (don't remember why) I used the following:
\definestartstop
[verse]
[before=\blank\startlinecorrection\ruledvbox\bgroup\startlines,
after=\stoplines\egroup\stoplinecorrection\blank]
\definestartstop
[chorus]
[before=\blank\startnarrower\startlines,
after=\stoplines\stopnarrower\blank]
\setuplines[before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace]
Usage example:
\startverse
I see ya blowin' me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand what's going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
Don't go too deep with it baby
\stopverse
\startverse
So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll play loose
Run like we have a day with destiny
\stopverse
I also vote for publishing verse setup (maybe not this exactly) at Wiki. I think that good setup should protect from breaking verses, emphasize choruses (if any), and don't introduce excessive vertical spacing.
