Phil,
Thanks - I've just found that out. There's an unwelcome interaction between
\table and \wordwrap in that the same property - baseline-skip - is used to
control both the distance between the lines of wordwrapped text and the
distance between the table rows. The defaults give horrible results. So I have
to keep on adjusting the value of the property which is a pain :(
\version "2.19.52"
\language "english"
\markuplist {
\override #'(line-width . 80)
\override #'(padding . 5)
\override #'(baseline-skip . 5)
\table #'(-1 -1)
{
\wordwrap {Bar 27}
\override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
\wordwrap {This text is hopelessly garbled in the sources, which are also
mutually inconsistent.
The editor has produced what he hopes is a performable version.}
\wordwrap {Bar 29}
\override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
\wordwrap { "in tempo" aligned but probably best on 6/16 (in neither of the
primary sources).
On experiment this has been found to work best}
}
}
Best regards,
Peter
