Hi Joram,

I didn't look at Janek's link, though you might be interested in the
markup-command 'compensate-indent' I wrote some time ago.
Shouldn't be too hard to adept it, though it works even right now.

\version "2.17.26" %"2.16.0"

#(define-markup-command (compensate-indent layout props arg)(markup?)
#:properties ((add-space  0)
              (stack-dir RIGHT))
  (let* ((amount (+ add-space (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'indent)))
         (lst (if (= stack-dir RIGHT)
                  (list (make-hspace-markup amount) arg)
                  (reverse (list (make-hspace-markup amount) arg))))
         (mrkp (make-concat-markup lst)))
  (interpret-markup layout props mrkp)))


\markup
  \override #'(add-space . -5 )
  \box
    \fill-line {
            \box
              \compensate-indent
                 \column {
                   "Trägt die schönsten bunten Schleifen,"
                 }
            \box
            \override #'(stack-dir . -1)
              \compensate-indent
                \column {
                  "Hat das Jahr genug vom Tanzen,"
                }
    }

Delete the \box-command, only inserted for better viewing what happens.


HTH,
