Hi edes and Urs, I don't think wordwrap is what the OP wanted. Can't you just manually split the long line of text, as per MWE here? I still think this is a bad engraving choice, especially if it is over a page break. Maybe a footnote would serve better? How long is the text we are talking

I agree that when a long markup stretches the measure at the end of a line, it suggests that there may be better ways of laying out the line breaks. Perhaps there should be a penalty for stretched measures due to markup in Lilypond's line breaking algorithm? Saul On Sat, Mar 16, 2019, 6:34 PM
