So, I found out that if you UNFOLD to one chorus, it's much, much easier to get it to do exactly what you want it to do.

If you leave it in it's default mode (folded with repeats) it's going to be a pain to work with.

EDIT>SONG FORM> UNFOLD and then simply edit it to do what you want.... one linear form....start to finish with no repeats.

Being formally trained.... I tried to use the musical road signs but quickly realized the unfolded form was so much easier. In addition, you can start anywhere in the song and know exactly where you are at any point. No more guessing is this the second or third verse?

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
