Mark,
I have a pet way of handling this that I like for more than one reason. When typing the lyrics, anyplace there is going to be a pause of some length, say after "sunset" I'll use the "SHIFT 6" to indicate a new page, then on the next line I'll type the word "PAUSE" or for real lengthy instrumental breaks I'll type "INSTRUMENTAL", preceeded and followed by the left and right arrows on the keyboard to indicate not lyrics. Using "SHIFT 6" assures that the "PAUSE or INSTRUMENTAL" will be at the top of the following lyrics.
After tapping "SUNSET' tap the "PAUSE" or "INSTRUMENTAL" and let the slow sweeping occur there. The thing I like about this method above all others is that it gives the singer a visual countdown that clues him/her in when to start singing again, especially at a private Karaoke Party where singers haven't learned the arrangement too well.
Hope this at least gives you and idea.
take care
George
