Re: Formatting Stanza Numbers

[Mats Bengtsson]

In addition to what I just said, you can of course modify the
font of the stanza number, by setting properties on the
StanzaNumber layout object, for example
\override StanzaNumber #'font-shape = #'italic
Similarly, you can set the extra-offset property to move
it around relative to the lyrics.
