Re: Inline score inside markup - bugs in music alignment

[Jiri Zurek (Prague)]

Dear David,
thank you for your valuable opinion but, in my case, the text needs to be
justified and the music inside markuplines should wrap along the lines of
the surrounding text. I am using it for a musicological apparatus
accompanying the piece and if the systems of the piece and other texts of
the book are well justified, it makes no sense to interrupt the flow with
ragged-right apparatus. Imagine, this book will have several hundred pages
and hundreds of small musical pieces - liturgical antiphones, each
accompanied by the apparatus. It must be justified.

I still hope there is a solution for my problem, and I even suspect that it
may be again very easy. Imagine, that if you have very short score inside
markup, it is already now printed in-line, not at the new line!!!  So, the
functionality is already present. Therefore, according to my understanding,
there might a function in Lilypond which tells: if you encounter a score
block which is longer than the empty rest of the line, then jump to a new
line. This made sense when there was no break within the score possible.
Now, that thanks to Neil we have the score block inside markuplines
breakable, the function should be simply disabled. The music would start at
the same line with the text and when the end of line is reached, it would
simply break to another one. Any help appreciated.
