Re: stanza numbers

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please use the convert-ly function to upgrade your files to the
current version. This will for example replace all
visibility-lambda with break-visibility which is the new name
of that property.

In general, to find out more about the properties that can be
set on each type of object, goto www.lilypond.org, click on
Documentation:Index and then on "Documentation of internals".
For example, you can scroll down and click on StanzaNumber to
see all properties that affects the stanza numbers. See also
the sections in the tutorial and manual on "Tuning the output".
