Subject: Various Stanza Questions


Hi everyone,
I'm currently using the \rN snippet (http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=710) 
to generate roman numerals for an analysis I'm doing. The piece ventures 
into various keys, so I would really like the ability to put the analysis 
for each key in a separate stanza so that they can appear whenever 
necessary.
I have four questions:
1) Is it possible to have multiple stanzas with lyrics that are blank up to 
a point? For example, one stanza has 40 "syllables" in it, and then the 
second has 39 "blank syllables" to start?
2) Is it possible to automatically hide the stanzas when all the lyrics for 
that system are blank?
3) If it is possible, is there some way to ensure that the second visible 
stanza doesn't immediately take the space of the first stanza when the 
lyrics are blank? i.e., typically when there's a blank object, any object 
"underneath" it tends to move up as far as possible.
4) Can I set it up so that the stanza number appears automatically at the 
beginning of every system? I am using the stanza number to store the key, 
and having the key appear every system would be useful.
Thanks for your help.
Brian
