And though not related to footnotes, you should avoid \concatenating
strings because it will result in single line of text. Granted, if your
font size is small compared to the paper size, it is possible all that
text could fit within the page margins. In general, though, you should
consider using \wordwrap or \wordwrap-string:
%%%%
\markup \override #'(line-width . 40)
\left-column {
\bold \typewriter "\\wordwrap"
\wordwrap {
* This song has been translated by the leading Irish,
Scotch Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Breton, and Cornish poets
into their native languages for singing in each Celtic
country and at Pan-Celtic Festivals.
}
\vspace #1 \draw-hline
\bold \typewriter "\\wordwrap-string"
\wordwrap-string
#"* This song has been translated by the leading Irish,
Scotch Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Breton, and Cornish poets
into their native languages for singing in each Celtic
country and at Pan-Celtic Festivals."
}
