This coincides with my experience: stanza for the beginning of the vers,
stz for the remaining lines. However, in 
http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Stanza_number_engraver.html#Stanza_number_engraver
it says:
  stz (markup (list or string)): 
       Abbreviated form for a stanza, see also Stanza property. 
Probably, one should fix the docu.
