Verse numbers

Verse numbers indicate the order in which lyrics are sung when multiple lines of lyrics share the same musical passage. They are commonly used in hymns and song sheets.

Depending on the type of music you are writing, verse numbers might not be appropriate. Therefore, hiding/showing verse numbers in Dorico Elements is optional. By default, verse numbers are not shown. You can hide/show verse numbers on individually selected lyrics.

Verse numbers use the same paragraph style as the following lyric.
