Here you really need to use \column-lines...

The idea behind the whole markuplines construction is:

- -) \markuplines takes a list of lines and prints them out
- -) \column-lines tells lilypond to interpret its contents as lines.

- -) \wordwrap-lines, on the other hand, simply takes its concatenated 
contents, 
calculates wordwraps and returns a list of word-wrapped lines. Thus any \line 
inside \wordwrap-lines won't have any effect.

So, basically, each \markuplines should typically be followed by 
\column-lines, and the contents of \column-lines should either be individual 
lines or lists of lines generated by \wordwrap-lines, \justified-lines and 
the like.

Cheers,
Reinhold
