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.
