Empty chord construct and \break.

[Hwaen Ch'uqi]

Greetings,

I am trying to typeset a stack of spoken lines above a multimeasure rest.
This works fine when preceded by notes in the same system. However, when it
follows a forced break, the output is not so desirable. Can anyone explain
what I am missing? MWE below.

\version "2.24.3"

\score {
  \new Staff = contrabass {
\relative c' {
  \key des \major \time 3/4 \clef bass
  des,2. %!
  des %2
  des %3
  des %4
  \break
\textLengthOn
<>^\markup \override #'(line-width . 66) \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.3)
\wordwrap { But enough with introductions. You are no doubt here to learn
about a most difficult episode in the life of our Katz. It was during a
particular night of fitful sleep that our beloved Katzlein finally slipped
into Traumland, and it is there where our story begins. }
R2.\fermata%29
\textLengthOff
}
  }
}

Thank you so much.

Re: Transparent box around notes

[Paolo Prete]

Note that there's also this (no trial-and-error):

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2015-01/msg00142.html

But it doesn't compile with 2.24...

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to fit what I'm
looking for.
Looking for example at
https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Search?q=background+%7C+colorspan , the box
coordinates must be calculated with a trial and error procedure, which is
pretty tedious.

Cheers,
P
