Sorry, made more progress than I thought I would. My full explanation is below.
Any simplifications (particularly ways to do away with the \markup \column
redundancy) would be welcome.
Wrapping lyrics in LilyPond
Markup command:
#(define-markup-list-command (wrap-lyrics layout props line) (markup-list?)
#:properties ((line-width 40))
"Lyric wrapping"
(interpret-markup-list layout props
(make-override-lines-markup-list (cons 'line-width line-width)
(make-wordwrap-lines-markup-list line))))
and invocation:
\lyricmode {
\markup \column { \wrap-lyrics {these lyrics will be wrapped as if they
all belong to the same syllable} }
}
There is also the possbiility of changing the line width (default is 40) using
the following example (line-width changed to 20):
\markup \column { \override-lines #'(line-width . 20) \wrap-lyrics {these
lyrics will be wrapped with a narrower line width} }
