Multiple stanzas work with shortVocalName:
\version "2.20.0"
\score {
<<
\new Staff
<<
\clef "treble"
\new Voice = "sop" { c'4 \bar "" \break c' }
>>
{
<<
\new Lyrics \lyricsto sop { \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "1. "
\set shortVocalName = "1. "
Should Should
}}
*\new Lyrics \lyricsto sop { \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2. " \set
shortVocalName = "2. " Strange Strange }} \new Lyrics \lyricsto sop {
\lyricmode { \set stanza = "3. " \set shortVocalName = "3. " Wrong
Wrong }}*
>>
}
>>
}
\layout {
\context { \Lyrics
\override InstrumentName.direction = #RIGHT
\override InstrumentName.padding = #1.5
}
}
