Ah, right - it won't typeset with the \stanzaNumber in it

That's because you didn't alter the verses that are typeset at the end.
You altered the verse under the notes. If you re-run the Typeset Verses
at End you could choose "Edit the end of movement text" to delete the
stanzaNumber line there, or you could replace the verses at the end with
your edited verse.

wow! Yet again you find a catastrophic bug. You cannot delete the last
remaining verse without Denemo crashing. I've fixed this now so tomorrow
all should be well. This bug was not present in 2.0.12 but I don't have
a 2.0.14 to find out if it is a regression - if any one does have 2.0.14
to test please try to delete all the verses from a score.

It is more sophisticated than a toggle: once you have got verses typeset
at the end it offers you to append more verses, replace them or edit
them.

yes, but only if you know that you can do that. The point of the command
is to alert you to the syntax needed. Once you know you can type -- you
will do it, of course.
