Re: tips for formatting an interview

[Jacques Menu]

Hello Federico,

How about:

\markup {
  \hspace #8
  \column {
    \override-lines #'(line-width . 30)
    \wordwrap-lines
    {
      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consec tetur adipisi cing elit, sed do eiu 
smod tempor
    }
  }

  \hspace #5

  \column \italic {
    \override-lines #'(line-width . 30)
    \wordwrap-lines
    {
      Duis aute irure dolor in rep rehende rit in volup tate velit esse cillum 
dolore eu
      Duis aute irure dolor in rep rehende rit in volup tate velit esse cillum 
dolore eu
    }
  }
  \hspace #1
}
