Why not use reheasal marks, see the section on "Rehearsal marks" for more
details. As you can see there, you can even get automatic numbering.
It might also be possible to make the stanza number allocate space so it
doesn't collide with the preceding lyrics, but I don't know how to do that.
Yet another alternative is to insert something like
\once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #1
before each new verse to get some extra space. See the section on
"Horizontal spacing overview" for more info.

I am using lilypond to write out and point anglican chant for each
Sunday's Psalm setting. This fragment has two Psalm verses but
typically we sing six to 12 verses in various A B patterns. I want to
enter the music once and then repeat it for as many verses as we
need. I borrowed the "divisio*" from gregorian-init.ly. I include
the \set stanza command so we know when to restart during rehearsal.
Whenever the "cadence" or ending phrase of the chant involves more
than one or two words, the lyrics text overlaps the subsequent stanza
label. Is there a way to override this, or can you suggest an
alternative method of marking the lyrics for rehearsal without marking
the music? I have attached a fragment png file showing the overlap.
