Hi Andrew,

> or to set the max width and tell lilypond to wrap the text?

In markup, I used

    ^\markup \override #'(line-width . 62) \column { \wordwrap-lines { Lorem 
ipso dolor yadda yadda … } }

I'm assuming you could do the same with LyricText.

Ah, I saw this after I wrote my response.

Yes that was the kind of thing I was looking at, but you can (it seems) 
incorporate it directly in LyricText object rather that just using it as a 
markup (which may be more convenient).
