Sometimes a song can have a burden. How can I put burden in one vocal line?

Burden (music)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In music, the burden is an archaic term[1] for the drone or base in some musical instruments, and the pipe or part that plays it, such as a bagpipe or pedal point in an organ. Burden also refers to a part of a song that is repeated at the end of each stanza, i.e. the chorus or refrain.

The term comes from the French bourdon, a staff; or a pipe made in the form of a staff, imitating the gross murmurs of bees or drones.

This is what was anciently called proslambanomenos.

If your concern is highlighting the lyrics, try my 1st attachment.

If you need verse1-chorus, verse2-chorus, verse3-chorus, you need to layer as in my second attachment. the next message.

As an alternative to Rick's solution, I use master repeats and you only need one extra layer to do it.
Several of the songs that I have posted on the Scriptorium use this technique.

A better solution. Also works with local repeats.
