Text markup: vspace with negative number

I'm trying to reduce the line width in a custom header template, having several lines combined in \center-column. I tried using the \vspace command, which seems the only thing in the docs slightly related to line height, but it doesn't seem to handle negative numbers. bookTitleMarkup = \markup

David Kastrup (15 Aug 2013 @ 17:04) You could try telling us the version of LilyPond you are using. With the current development version, this moves the third field right into the first one. So you are obviously using something else. I'm using 2.17.14 Oh, that's an unstable version anyway.

Abbreviating 'complex' commands
