I've recently upgraded to Lilypond 2.2.2 on Cygwin.  I would like to align my stanza 
numbers closer to the lyrics.  I had it working correctly in older versions using 
"stanza" and later "instrumentname."  I'm trying to get it to work now using 
"vocalName."  I've included an example of what I was experimenting with below.  

\version "2.2.0"

\score {
       <<        \notes \relative c'' \context Voice = duet { \time 3/4
          g2 e4 \break a2 f4 g2.  }


       \lyrics << \lyricsto "duet" \new Lyrics {
                \override VocalName   #'self-alignment-Y = #-1
%               \override VocalName   #'break-align-symbol = #'Time_signature
                \override VocalName   #'break-align-symbol = #'begin-of-note
                \set vocalName = "1."
                \set vocNam = "1."
         Hi, my name is bert. }
       \lyricsto "duet" \new Lyrics {
                \override VocalName   #'self-alignment-Y = #-1
%               \override VocalName   #'break-align-symbol = #'Time_signature
%               \override VocalName   #'break-align-symbol = #'begin-of-note
                \set vocalName = "2."
                \set vocNam = "2."
         Ooooo, ch\'e -- ri, je t'aime. }
       >> >>
     }



When I use "\override vocalName" I get an error that vocalName is an unknown grob.  
When I use a capital V in VocalName, I can get the stanza number inside the staff 
group.  When I use nothing at all, the stanza number appears before the staff group.  
How can I fix my problem and get my stanza numbers to align close to the lyrics, like 
I had before?  

Thanks for any help,
Rob
