Default song sheet: specify space for line breaks

Create and apply a different paragraph style for each uniquely formatted
line. To some extent you can switch styles automatically by setting the
following style to the style that should be next when you press enter. From
your description it sounds like you need three styles here.
A New Stanza style, a First Line style and a Body Text style.
You can get a new stanza style to be followed by a first line style and a
first line style to be followed by a body text style.

I want to create a song lyric sheet which typically has text in
stanzas. So my text will follow this:
Stanza 1: text line 1
text line 2
text line 3

Stanza 2: text line 1
text line 2
text line 3

I know how to specify paragraph spacing for Normal styles but how do
I set different spacing between text line 1 and 2, and between
stanzas?
Thank you.
