Me too. The main problem I see is that \fromproperty returns a markup, not a markup list. You try fudging around that, but that's not convincing. So what I think is needed is a \fromproperty-lines instead. If course, this would require _all_ uses of page:title to expect a property list. Another approach would be to have a markup list command \line-parts that takes a line markup and splits it back into a markup list. Then you can use something like title = \markup { "First part" "second part" } (which is an implicit form of \markup \line { "First part" "second part" }), and use something like \center-column \line-parts \fromproperty #'page:title in order to get the split version. In the end, this sounds like something that could benefit from the "markup/markup-list unification" project. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
