I'm working on a hymnal, and I have some questions about some things I need
to do for it, layout-wise.

1) How can I number the hymns (i.e., number each score). I can't use strict
page numbering, since multiple hymns may be on a single page (and there are
multi-page hymns). I also want the system to number the scores dynamically,
so that I can re-arrange the hymns to allow for spacing and other
considerations.

2) If I have verses with different rhythms (e.g., one verse has only one
syllable at a quarter note, but another verse has two syllables in the same
time period) and the rhythm of the verse with more syllables is indicated
using tied notes (so that the rhythm of the other verse is preserved
musically), how would I go about inputing the lyrics so that the verse with
more syllables had its syllables in the right positions?

I probably have others, but these are the most pressing ones I can think of.
Thanks for any help.
