Description
Your idea
For scores with multiple verses of lyrics, it is needed to add a verse number for each line in each system in each page, as is illustrated in the sample score Greensleeves as an example at MuseScore Studio 4 Handbook -> Lyrics -> Overview, whose verse number must be added via typing now.
There should also be a way to add any other text before lyric lines, like when denoting a singer/group:
Problem to be solved
Add verse number to each lyric line in each system in each page automatically.

Additional context
@PtJade-Ceramic That's a quite different kind of request (a new engraving feature rather than a simple UI tweak) so should be discussed in a separate issue.
