Uh, \header blocks should allow \markuplist commands just fine, just not
for variables taking markups.  But you can always write

author = \column \table ...

to convert a markup list back into a single markup.

Yes, this great feature was introduced sometime in the 2.19 cycle.
See 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/text-markup-list-commands

As far as I know, you can't use it in an actual \header block if
that's what you're meaning to do (\header blocks don't seem to allow
\markuplist commands, but I did manage to hack a way to do it.
Perhaps someone will chime in with something I'm overlooking!)

Creating a table in Lilypond?

2017-09-27 Thread Ryan McClure
Hi everyone,

It's been years since I've last used the mailing list...too long!

I'm in the process of organizing my folk song collection for teaching, and I
want to use Lilypond to do it digitally. I need to create a table at the
bottom of my pages...like, an actual text table. I don't want to cut and
paste my Lilypond score into a document... Is there a way to create a text
table look-alike using \markup?

Thanks!
-Ryan
