Re: Using shortVocalName for stanza numbers on every system

[Noeck]

I think I’ve seen solutions for that problem on this list or in the
snippets. Perhaps someone has a link.

But how about his?

\version "2.20.0"

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \new Voice = "sop" {
      \clef "treble"
      c'4 \bar "" \break c'
    }
    \new Lyrics  \lyricsto sop {
      \lyricmode {
        \set stanza = "2. "
        \set shortVocalName = "2. "
        Should Should
      }
    }
  >>
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \override InstrumentName.direction = #RIGHT
    \override InstrumentName.X-offset = -1
    \override InstrumentName.font-series = #'bold
  }
}
