I'm creating a custom bookTitleMarkup for a project I'm working on and
have some lines which are setup like `meter` and `arranger` in the
default template (two blocks of text, one flushed left the other right,
on the same line).
However, on one of those lines the header properties to be used may be
very long and thus I need to force word wrapping to less than the full
line width for each field. On the left side, that is not a problem, I
just use `\override #'(line-width . 30) \wordwrap-field`. However, on
the right side this doesn't work because the wrapping of the text within
the field is left aligned inside its box (which is right aligned on the
line). What I'd like is for the wrapped text to be right aligned inside
its box. I tried changing `text-direction` to -1, and this did change
the alignment, but also reversed the word order on each line.
Is there an equivalent for `\wordwrap-field` that will flush right the
text (much like `\justify-field` leads to it being justified)?
