Format question

[MrRoland]

I have a story that I need to have three distinct parts that are interspersed; song lyrics, thoughts and dialogue and I'm wondering what might be the best way to make this easy for the reader to differentiate. I have put the thoughts in italics, but I also placed the song lyrics in italics in an indented paragraph block, but it seems too much like the thought sequence. Any suggestions?

If you have quotation for the dialogue, italics for the songs, and then do away the quotes for the thoughts. Sometimes putting a slash after the line of the lyrics helps too:

Have some sympathy, and some taste / (woo woo) / Use all your well-learned politesse / Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah / (woo woo, woo woo) / Pleased to meet you....

Thanks, Craig! The slashes are a very good idea.

You should see my jazz hands!

And Mike, no worries. Good luck.
