Need help with verses, repeats, all that!

I'm trying to enter a typical chorus song. I have gotten basic repeats from the beginning of the music to work before, but have never had much luck with the more complex stuff. So, here I am.

What I have is this - and if it helps, the song is Sleigh Ride - a really old arrangement:

Intro words
Verse 1
Verse 2
DS after verse 2 ending
Middle of song
Coda mark
Continue with middle of song
Verse 3
Verse 4
Continue with song
Go back to DS
Coda

To start with, I can't get the first part of the lyrics to appear alone. The repeat wants to start at the beginning, even though I have a Master Repeat Open where the repeating is supposed to start, and endings 1, master close and 2 as I've used before.

Help me, please!

Possibly like this. The hidden 1/1 Time Signature helps the alignment of the To Coda.

That looks pretty close. Verse 1 and 2 are separated from Verse 3 and 4 by a bunch of music. How can I create 2 separate sets of verses separate from each other?

Great! One more snag - the song is supposed to go to the Coda the second time it hits some music. In other words

Upper middle stuff
the sign
Middle stuff
code second time
Verse 3
Verse 4
to the sign
Coda

Any ideas?

Let me take that back - worked like a charm 1st try even! Thanks so much!
