I notice that our EGD (§2.3.3 in the gdoc) permits encoders to restart the numbering of stanzas after a pagelike partition "in order to follow the numbering scheme of a previous edition or the conventions of your specific field". I would prefer to forbid this (allowing the restarting of stanza numbering only for boxlike partitions), and I think at present the schema also enforces this, so I believe there aren't many (or any) already encoded files that restart stanza numbers after a pagelike partition. @michaelnmmeyer , am I right to assume that allowing stanza numbering to reset after a pagelike partition would seriously interfere with the referencing scheme in #307 and require schema modifications? @arlogriffiths , I think this option was included in the original guide at your insistence. Do you feel it is necessary, or can I edit it out of the EGD?
If the option to restart stanza numbering in such cases is really important, then one way to go ahead may be to prescribe complex stanza numbers for such cases, analogously to the system of complex line numbers. But I would rather avoid that.
