Re: center text in the middle of the page

Hi Federico:

> the settings above do not affect the markup, just the staves.

Also Lyrics:

\version "2.13.9"

\paper {
  scoreTitleMarkup = ##f
  tagline = ##f
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f
  top-system-spacing = #'((space . 4) (padding . 4) (stretchability . 1))
  between-system-spacing = #'((space . 4) (padding . 4) (stretchability . 0))
  bottom-system-spacing = #'((space . 4) (padding . 4) (stretchability . 1))
}

\score {
  \new Lyrics \with { fontSize = #10 }
    \lyricmode { "My text is centred!" }
}

If you \box it, with large enough padding, that might work…

Good luck!
