The tagline as well as all other titling information is typeset
by LaTeX. In LaTeX, you get a new line by typing \\, however, in the
LilyPond input, you have to replace each \ with \\, so you should
try something like
tagline = "First line \\\\ second line"

I'm trying to format the tagline into two lines, the original "Engraved by...", then 
a linefeed and my text. I stumbled upon the '\break" command, which sets my line under 
the standard line, but the first line is trying to be fully-justified, and is widely spaced.

The short question is "How do I turn off full justification in the tagline?" The 'teach a 
person to fish...' question is, "Where is a list of all the commands that can be used in text 
blocks that can control formatting, like '\break'?"

Thank you all for your patience with this newbie.
