Hi Amir, to my knowledge, lilypond doesn't provide a linebreaking mechanism for text in a markup. You can either do the line breaking yourself using the \column feature of the markup command or you edit the markup in an external graphics program/publishing software which supports linebreaking and which can export to eps and use the eps file in the markup.
For markup commands see: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/formatting-text -- Orm ------------------------------------------------------------------ Prof. Orm Finnendahl Komposition Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Eschersheimer Landstr. 29-39 60322 Frankfurt am Main Am Sonntag, den 29.
