Please help.

How can one use Biab 2024 to display multiple verses of lyrics over chords and change the key?

I want to have all my songs for my live performance set in Biab, chords and lyrics.

I want to be able to change the key quickly and at will (because my band loves to do that for some unknown reason).

I need to be able to see all the lyrics and the basic chord sheet, with 2 or 3 or 4 sets of lyrics.

I am close to achieving that, BUT I cannot add the 2nd verse of the lyrics, which is all I need (I think) now.

BTW, I think I could achieve this 2nd verse simply if there were a way to enter a line return (AKA new line) in the lyrics entry box over each bar, but I cannot do that with \n (backslash-n) or such so far.

I will attach a screenshot of what I have so far, and I am just a novice at this.

If I can help it, I would like to avoid having to output a PDF lead sheet with lyrics-- rather I would like to stay in the main Biab song window.

Note, I will NOT be playing the Biab song in real-time (live), but just using it as a "quick way to transpose the chords" and a way to read the lyrics for singing.

Note, I will be playing the song with Biab during my private practice sessions, so I need that functionality for sure.

What do you think, recommend, suggest, etc?

(I would be especially grateful for an SGU example with 2 verses of lyrics.)

Thank you.
