Comment #3 on issue 1133 by [email protected]: Linebreaking calculation problem
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1133

Added note on recent discussion and workaround:

--snip--
This is the only workaround that comes to my mind, but probably it's
not what you are looking for:

\tempo \markup {
  \center-column {
    \line { a very long }
    \line { tempo string }
  }
}

Indeed, this is a viable solution sometimes, e.g. in parts.  Ideally,
\tempo should accept an optional argument to provide an alternative
markup for extremely tight situations.
