I don't.  Is there a workaround?  Someone had posted one that worked on
2.8 or so, but not any longer.

There did used to be an stz that worked exactly the way one would
want this to work. (I.e. no having to set bold font to have the stz
numbers look like the stanza numbers, and in the same relation to the
text as the stanza numbers.) I don't know why it went away.  I'd be
really surprised if the capability for putting a number at the beginning
of a new line of lyrics had gone *completely* away.

I'm setting some stuff from the Ravenscroft psalter (first try
<http://serpentpublications.org/wordpress/?page_id=20&id=777>), and some
of the psalms have *lots* of verses.
