Re: Stanza Numbers

[Mats Bengtsson]

You have almost given the solution yourself in an earlier message:

MyLyrics = \lyrics {
  \property LyricsVoice . stz = "1."
  \once \property Score . StanzaNumber \override #'break-visibility = 
all-visible
  First words of the lyrics ...
}

If you skip the \once, the stanza number is printed before each
syllable, not just the first one.

I consider it a bug that LyricsVoice . Stanza is not printed if the
lyrics doesn't start at the absolute top of the piece. The hack
solution given above shouldn't be necessary.
