Well, we *need* to know what you don't

The thing that several people regret, each one for his/her own reasons, and
his/her own words and arguments, is \markup being not able to align text to
page border.
Just this.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Everything that I read on the mailing list
sends me back to the LilyPond user manual, and every time that happens, I
understand it a little bit more. The document is pretty cryptic in places, but
then again, so are most important documents. I mean, I think
If you have the technical capability to complain about the docs, you
have the technical ability to improve those docs.
Hear, hear! This is a good saying, worth to remember.

I was wondering what kind of contexts of control I have over \markup stuff
outside \score stuff. Specifically, this is what I would like to accomplish.
\version 2.10.25
\score {
\new Voice \relative c'' {

Your question is also related to the discussion near the end of the Merging

discuss list.
Where the discussion in the other thread was headed was that when we

This is not true.
In this example, the text ends up in the left margin.

Yes, I am indeed wrong about the \*-align commands. However, the
\justify-string and \wordwrap-string commands print text on the entire
page. So the main issue is about the right aligned text...
