Thank you for the help I received with this problem.
I have finally had time to get back to the project, and have ended up with:
\paper {
inner-margin = 30\mm
outer-margin = 30\mm
print-page-number = ##f
tocTitleMarkup = \markup {
\vspace #10
\fontsize #6
\column {
\fill-line { \null "Contents" \null }
\vspace #2
}
}
tocItemMarkup = \markup \fontsize #5 \fill-line {
\override #'(line-width . 80)
\tocItemWithDotsMarkup
}
}
\markuplist \override #'(baseline-skip . 5) \table-of-contents
Lower down on the same page are a couple of paragraphs of text.
The table of contents is now much as I want it, although I am not keen
on the amount of space between the end of the row of dots and the
page-number itself - to me, it seems excessive. But this is a small
matter and I can live with it.
I dare say that the above markup could be more logically arranged: there
was a fair amount of trial and error that went on before I got a
successful result, even with the help from the list!
