Thanks,
I've been looking at lilypond markup for text and find it difficult to
determine which bits are already included in Multi-Line Text.
It looks as if the \markup { ....... ]
is already there; certainly \markup seems to produce an error when
Typesetting, though not necessarily in the Preview
For example (and I was playing with the poetry to see what happened)
what is below in red causes no issue in the Preview but a Typesetting error
Best wishes
Joe

Hi Richard,
All the music systems are now in order. Thanks.
The Score I am transposing has some poetry associated with each
movement, and I thought it might be good to include it on a page
between
the Titles and the First Movement.
I think the only thing Denemo provides is the ability to include
title
page(s) generated externally as an eps file. So you would create
everything you wanted using an external editor and write it out as an
eps file and then include it using:
Command: Prepend Encapsulated Postscript
Places text/graphics from an encapsulated postscript file at the
start
of the current movement.
Use this for columns of text or images, fancy titles etc. prepared in
other programs
which are to appear before the music.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Movements ▶ Titles
Internal Name: PrependPostscript
But I see that there is a command to place LilyPond markup after a
movement so I've tweaked that to place the markup before the movement
-
this is in the sources now and will be built overnight:
Command: Text Before Movement
Places (formatted) text before the music of the current movement.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Movements ▶ Titles
Internal Name: MarkupAtStart
If you use Score titles for the titles then the markup you give will
come after them (but before any Movement titles you set).
Using this to get exactly what you want will be easier if you have read
up the LilyPond markup commands and have the patience to fiddle with
them. I've just come up with an example of placing some justified text
centered beneath the title - attached here. But until you have the
command installed you can't edit this easily...

I tried Custom Titles, hoping to put the verses in the centre
column,
and have hit some snags.
1 Once I have created a line, trying to edit it can only be done by
re-entering the data.
2 There doesn't seem to be a way to delete a line, once entered.
3 I need a way of putting several lines in one block - though the
text
display shows four lines if i use SHIFT-ENTER it is all in a wide
single
line on the page.
It isn't important: I can Start Again from the a file with just
music
and add Titles and forget the poetry.
But it would be nice. Even better if the lines could be edited from
the
Typesetter screen😁
Best wishes and a Happy New Year.
Joe
