Thanks Kieren & James,
This helped a lot. I actually found a lesser workaround later last night, but
your solutions were way better.
Continuing this conversation: I'm trying to now make a markup function, and
running into trouble. Here's the function:
---
#(define-markup-command (wrap-lyrics layout props line) (markup?)
#:properties ((line-wrap-width 40))
"Allow lyrics to wrap at the end of the line"
(interpret-markup layout props
(markup #:override '(line-width . ,line-wrap-width) #:column
(#:wordwrap-lines (line)))))
...
\markup { \wrap-lyrics {sky's bluer than it seems sky's blue all seeming yet
feeling is first yet syntax seems clear} }
---
However, I get this error:
error: Not a markup command: wordwrap-lines
Any ideas? Running \displayLilyMusic shows that \wordwrap-lines is replaced by:
#<procedure wordwrap-lines-markup-list (layout props args)> ("world's" "chaos"
"when" "we" "seek" "it" "water's" "drifting" "as" "slowly" "out" "tides"
"toward" "land" "twice" "daily")
But is there a workaround to let me use this same built-in procedure in my
scheme function?
Thanks, and sorry for the gobs of code. Hopefully we'll end up with a snippet
in the end.
Best,
Andrew
