Hi,

I’ve tried adding an extra line of description to the title within a TOC entry (it states the voicing of each choral movement). The last movement has a description longer than the title, so the dots don’t reach the title. I’ve tried overriding X-extents within the markup, but it doesn't seem to
make any difference.

You could use either \with-dimensions or \with-dimensions-from to adjust the effective extents of the markup. But likely the better option is this:

%%%%
\version "2.19.83"

\paper {
  tocItemMarkup = \tocItemWithDotsMarkup
  tocDescriptionMarkup = \markup \italic \fromproperty #'toc:text
}

tocDescription = #(define-music-function (text) (markup?)
  (add-toc-item! 'tocDescriptionMarkup text))

\book {
  \markuplist \table-of-contents
  \tocItem "One"
  \tocDescription "Lorem ipsum"
  \tocItem "Two"
  \tocDescription "Dolor sit amet"
  \markup \null
}
%%%%

You can follow pattern this to add any number of other specialized items with custom markup.
