Im tired of lazy arrangers

My common gripe with these arrangements is that the other verses are printed at the end to save space. Ive seen Dylan arrangements with eleven verses, ten at the end. As often is the case with singer-songwriters, the lyric rhythms of the second and third verses dont follow the same pattern of the first verse so its not intuitive as to how the later verses should be arranged without me rearranging the whole song. I wouldnt even complain if there was space enough for me to write the other verses but theres not. The first verse was well-arranged but the second and third verses are left to the customer.
