Hi,
        What's the best way to put verse numbers against lyrics?

I tried:
        "{\kern -2em\bf 1. }FirstWord"
but because Lilypond  is naive about the way it calculates lengths of
text, this wrecks the spacing of the notes.

P.S.,
lilypond 1.1.46 complains about the Scarlatti sonatas in Mutopia/...
