So as I understand it you want the stanza number at the beginning of each
system such as after line breaks, instead of just the first? If that's the
case maybe try using shortVocalName, like this:
\version "2.25.12"
\new Staff { c' \break c' }
\addlyrics {
\set stanza = "1."
\set shortVocalName = \markup \bold \small "1."
aah aah
}
\addlyrics {
\set stanza = "2."
\set shortVocalName = \markup \bold \small "2."
ooh ooh
}
which gives:
