Re: multi-column markup function/macro?

I'm still getting a lot of warnings, but it works beautifully!

The word silence is in roman, but commenting out the line

\override-lines #'(font-name . "Century Schoolbook L")

makes it italic. I assume this is because you need to specify an italic typeface?

Hi Alex, hi list,

I changed a little bit of the code.

*ATTENTION*
If you compile the example file and use the xelatex-command, lilypond
will *create* and *delete* several files. One of them is called
"xelatex-<tmpname>.sh" and is executed with

    (system "/bin/bash xelatex-<tmpname>.sh")

This is only for development purposes and if you don't trust it, don't
compile it!

If you compile it, you do it on your own risk!
*ATTENTION*

I use this method to unset several environment variables. Due to the
calling of /bin/bash for starting the compilation process, this is
dependent on the existance of BASH. On linux, bsd and mac this should
always be the case - I don't know, what happens on windows here.

I know, this is a very hackish solution ...
but I am interested in comments anyway.

Cheers, Jan-Peter
