Thanks Paul. I found that thread just after I wrote and it worked for me.  
But I can't figure out why the soprano lyrics on that line are printing  
slightly higher above the staff in the system above it. Luckily, it is the  
last system of my piece, and there are only two systems on the last page,  
so there is room on the last page to move the last system down far enough  
to get the volta brackets easily above the soprano lyrics.
