This only works if you put the "verses" one level deeper in the nested list 
structure. It is the toolbar button that looks like a printed sheet with a 
left and a right arrow.

This means that you will get more indent for your verses, which is not 
necessarily what you want. You may have to redefine leftmarginii to make the 
margin smaller (but this will make all second level list margins narrower). 
Alternatively, redefine Verse with a smaller leftmargin.
 
In other words, LaTeX, as you expected. 

Or try to manage with Standard sections. Or use a minipage of proper width (to 
get the proper right margin). Minipage is under the layout -> paragraph menu.

PS I have had another problem: produce a list like this

1. (a) This is the first item
   (b) and this is the second
   (c) and the third
2. Continuing

The problem is to get the (a) immeditately to the right of the 1. I managed, 
but only with dirty tricks. Any better ideas?
