Re: Inserting multi-line text

[Mats Bengtsson]

I cannot see any easy way to tell LilyPond to do the line breaking
automatically. However, if you stand to do that manually, the answer
to both your questions is to use Text markup, see the example called
score-text.ly in the "Regression Test" document (note that the
\book{...} isn't necessary) and the section on Creating Titles in
the manual.
