You may look at:
prose: /Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme/, Molière, Lully
<http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/index.php/2006/05/10/7>
verses: /Amour Malade/, Lully, Butti
<http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/index.php/2006/04/16/6>
where commands are defined for displaying character name, didascalies
(don't know the English for that), verses, text, etc.
