In The Hymnal 1982, when there are five or more stanzas in a hymn, the editors often engrave a horizontal line under the number for a middle stanza. I’m not sure what exactly to call this line; Google suggests “wayfinding line,” “visual separator,” “stanza divider line,” or simply “underscore.”
Here are two examples: https://hymnary.org/hymn/EH1982/142 https://hymnary.org/hymn/EH1982/407 Below is my MWE reproducing the first example, Hymn 142. Is my approach using \underline good? Would others use a different approach, such as \draw-hline or \draw-line?
