Well I did... and while doing some further digging... I came across the following which MIGHT just accomplish what I really wanted (namely the way to get something formatted like a chorus block gets formatted, but with a different label:
Quote:Abbreviation:
[size=undefined]Code:soc
.[/size]
This directive indicates that the lines that follow form the song's chorus. These lines are normal song lines, but will be shown in an outstanding manner.
This directive may include an optional label, to be printed in the left margin. For example:,
Code:{start_of_chorus: All}
See also labels.

Now I tried that... and (not surprisingly) I got "Chorus" and not the "optional" label. So I guess I would make this now an enhancement request, namely as follows:
- Implement the optional label directive so that a user could then overload the "Chorus" text in a {soc}/{eoc} block with an alternate text, for example Chorus 2, Pre-chorus, Bridge, Ending, Refrain, or Tag
- Supplemental enhancement - in the same way as MobileSheets Pro implements {chorus} to allow a repeated instance of the existing chorus w/o completely replicating it, have it recognize the label in the same way that it recognizes {chorus} so then you could place a second instance of the Bridge or Refrain rather than a complete copy. Purely a nicety IMHO as #1 would provide more than enough flexibility for me.
A perfect example of a song that this sort of thing occurs in: Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble
That has two different pre-choruses though the lyrics from the above link designate the Chorus as Bridge (not sure I understand why they did that). When we sing this we have the following pattern:
- Verse 1
- Verse 2
- Pre-chorus 1
- Chorus
- Verse 3 (lyrics in the link have a typo and have two instances of Verse 2)
- Pre-chorus 2
- Chorus 2x
