I'd rather use \justify with overrided line-width. \markup \fill-line { \override #'(line-width . 50) \justify { The GNU Hurd is a computer operating system kernel. It consists of a set of servers (or daemons, in Unix-speak) that work on top of either the GNU Mach microkernel or the L4 microkernel; together, they form the kernel of the GNU operating system. It has been under development since 1990 by the GNU Project and is distributed as free software under the GPL. The Hurd aims to surpass Unix kernels in functionality, security, and stability, while remaining largely compatible with them. This is done by having the Hurd track the POSIX specification, while avoiding arbitrary restrictions on the user. } \hspace #2 % minimum space between the two columns \override #'(line-width . 50) \justify { "\"HURD\"" is an indirectly recursive acronym, standing for "\"HIRD of Unix-Replacing Daemons\"," where "\"HIRD\"" stands for "\"HURD of Interfaces Representing Depth\"." It is also a play of words to give "\"herd of gnus\"" reflecting how it works.
