In my music I have been using
\set stanza = "1. "
to get line numbering for the lyrics. But this only numbers the beginning
of the lyric's line.
I can manually insert that to get the numbering to appear within the lyric
line, but what I need is for it to appear at the start of each lyric as it
dynamically shifts.
Manually could look like this:
\set stanza = "1. " Bla bla bla \set stanza = "1. " ha ha ha
to get
1. Bla Bla Bla
2. ha ha ha
however, when the music spreads itself across the bars it might break
differently, creating this:
1. Bla Bla Bla 2. ha
ha ha
So is there a way to make it auto-number the lyric lines?
Use instrumentName and shortInstrumentName?
<<
\new Staff { \repeat unfold 80 c''4 }
\new Lyrics
\with { instrumentName = "1." shortInstrumentName = "1." }
\lyricmode { \repeat unfold 80 foo4 }
\new Lyrics
\with { instrumentName = "2." shortInstrumentName = "2." }
\lyricmode { \repeat unfold 80 bar }
HTH,
