tips for formatting an interview

[Federico Bruni]

Hi all

I'm trying to format directly in LilyPond an interview (the single text 
only part of a book). I don't want to use lilypond-book and LaTeX just 
because of this minor part of the book.

I've two questions:

1) There's any way to place the text on two columns AND let LilyPond 
reflow it depending on the available space on the page?
The documentation contains an example where you must decide in advance 
what goes into column left and what into column right. I'd like to 
avoid this.


2) I'm trying to create a shortcut for formatting the question and the 
answer.
I wonder if the new \etc can be used for this purpose or should I 
rather create a markup function.
I've tried the following but it fails immediately when it evaluates the 
definitions:

\version "2.19.31"

question = \markuplist \justified-lines \bold \etc
answer = \markuplist \justified-lines \etc

\markuplist {
 \justified-lines \bold {
