No space paragraph in reflowable epub

Question

Hello!I did my book design recently and now I'm working on a reflowable epub (e-reader kindle) version of it, however I'm having troubles with space between my paragraphs. I have a few music quotes between my texts, but when I export they keep having this weird giant spacing between the quote lines and when I try to set the space before them smaller, they get really close to the text before them... 1st image is how is turning out in InDesign (and how I wanted to look like) and the 2nd image is how is turning out after exporting with EPUB 3. Does anyone know how can I change this?

Replac the returns in the centerd poem with shift return.

There are two ways to fix this: as Willi suggests, use soft-line returns or shift-returns between the lines that you don't want space after.

Or build three style sheets for those quotes. The first would be for the first line of the quote with space before built in. The second style would be for the middle lines with no space before or after built in. And the final style would be for the last line of the quote with only space after built into it.
