shortVocalName does allow multiple verses: in the lyrics, wherever you say '\set stanza' also say '\set shortVocalName'. You may not like the position of the numbers though (outside the left of the staff). Cut down from a real example:
FlowGentlySweetAftonBallad.pdf
Description: Adobe PDF document
\version "2.14.1"
#( ly:set-option 'backend 'eps)
\include "english.ly"
\layout {
indent = 0.0\cm
\context { \Lyrics
\override InstrumentName #'font-size = #0
\override InstrumentName #'font-series = #'bold
}
}
\header {
tagline = ##f
}
verseOne = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1." \set shortVocalName = "1."
Flow gent -- ly, sweet Af -- ton, a -- mong thy green braes,
Flow gent -- ly, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;
}
verseTwo = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2." \set shortVocalName = "2."
How loft -- y, sweet Af -- ton! thy neigh -- bour -- ing hills,
Far mark'd with the cour -- ses of clear, wind -- ing rills;
}
verseThree = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "3." \set shortVocalName = "3."
Thy crys -- tal stream, Af -- ton, how love -- ly it glides,
And winds by the cot where my Ma -- ry re -- sides;
}
\score { <<
\new Staff << \clef treble \key a \major \time 3/4
\new Voice = "soprano" \relative {
\partial 4 e4 a a cs8( b) a4 a e fs a fs e2 e4 a a b cs cs d e cs a b2
}
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" { \verseOne }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" { \verseTwo }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" { \verseThree }
>>
}
Best wishes,
