Only when the separation between stanzas is made by means of a blank line. With the current behavior of verse blocks in the export to LaTeX, where the separation between stanzas is done by a \vspace, there is no problem. When, months ago, I contributed the LaTeX verse numbering patch, I took this into account, and it didn't seem like the right time to change the default behavior of the verse block. I hope to be able to send a new patch soon in the few days (according to what we discussed in past messages) where the separation by stanzas is applied by means of a blank line (which is the right thing to do in LaTeX). I'm rewriting my old code for verse numbering so that a \\! is automatically added in the last line of each stanza when line numbering is on. Best regards, Juan Manuel
