[XeTeX] Automatic Verse Numbering

Hi,

I suggest you take a look at the "ledmac" and "ledpar" packages, which, according to the description, are latex package for "critical editions", including many options to set poems, line numbering, footnotes, etc.

By the way this list is specific for xe(la)tex. Your question would be better posted to a "general latex" list or newsgroup.

Later,
Wilfred
