Nope, Lilypond doesn't try to be a full text layout application. You cannot do 
multi-column text with automatic line- and column-breaking.

I am using Latex for such things like preface, lyrics and translations 
(Initially I tried to use lilypond, that's why I wrote that other snippet that 
Harm suggested; But then decided that lilypond simply isn't capable of what I 
need), critical report, etc.

Cheers,
Reinhold
