I think the names for the commands are great, but I'm still confused.

\hcenter and \column and duplicates of \center-align and \left-column  
(currently \center-align and \left-align)? Umm, really?
\version "2.11.54"
\paper {
  #(define dump-extents #t)

  line-width = 160\mm - 2.0 * 0.4\in
  indent = 0\mm
  force-assignment = #""
  line-width = #(- line-width (* mm  3.000000))
}

\markup {
  \left-align {
    one
    two
    three
  }
}

\markup {
  \column {
    one
    two
    three
  }
}

\markup {
  \hcenter {
    one
    two
    three
  }
}

\markup {
  \center-align {
    one
    two
    three
  }
}

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I get different results. Or is the goal  
here to change them so that they are duplicates.
