I'm having trouble getting the stanza numbers to print the way I want them with the incipits. I can get the numbers before the incipit, but then there's a long break between the number and the start of the lyrics to which it applies. If I put the stanza property statement after the "lyrics" for the incipit, the stanza numbers don't print at all (see attached file). Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this problem?
