Hymn Book - Page layout test

Looking at various hymn books, I noticed that they typically had hymn numbers as well as page numbers. I decided to add these to my template. They are set in Joanna MT Std Bold 12pt and positioned directly above the first word of the first verse. The first word is always set in small caps (apart from the first letter, which is a regular cap), as they are often found in hymn books. Also, all verses after the first one are numbered. The number is just Joanna MT Std Bold 6pt followed by a space.

Here is an example of how a finished hymn might look:



The text for the entire hymn is centre-justified and centred on the page. The hymn number is then positioned relative to this.
