I'm setting a song with multiple stanzas, in which I would like to include dynamics and articulations (breathing, phrasing) within the text.  After much hunting around the docs and snippets, I've got this far:

/version "2.19.2"
...
secondverse = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = \markup { \bold 2. \dynamic mf } Re -- mem -- ber me, a -- lace,
    \set stanza = \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.tickmark" }
    And lat all rig -- our pass
    \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.tickmark" }
    That I may prove in you some love
    \markup { \musicglyph #"ties.lyric.default" }
    To my joy and so -- lace
    True love to move I most be -- hove
    \markup { \dynamic p } Re -- mem -- ber me, a -- lace.
}

but the dynamics and articulations are taking space in the lyric underlay as if they were syllables in their own right.

How should I solve this?
\set stanza may be used with arbitrary markup – it seems like abuse, but there’s no problem with that. I corrected the first two lines in the example above like this.

As a subsidiary question: Verses 4 & 5 of this song are set beneath the score as markup columns.  I'd like to do something similar in those verses also.
Well, no problem: just use the markup commands you already used inside lyrics inside markup.

Yours, Simon
