Is there some way to make a center-column draw lines from slightly outside
the text to the edges of the column (see example)?
In this specific case, I have both English and Japanese names for stuff, and
without those lines, I think it's a bit unclear exactly what part the
Japanese refers to.
```
subtitle = \markup \bold \large \line {
"from"
\center-column {
"Legend of Heroes"
\smaller \smaller \smaller
"英雄伝説"
}
"VI:"
\center-column {
"Trails in the Sky"
\smaller \smaller \smaller
"空の軌跡"
}
}
```
Try this:
\version "2.19.59"
% based on general-column from scm/define-markup-commands.scm
#(define (general-column align-dir baseline mols)
(let* ((aligned-mols
(map (lambda (x) (ly:stencil-aligned-to x X align-dir))
mols))
(max-extent (ly:stencil-extent (car aligned-mols) X))
(aligned-mols
(cons (car aligned-mols)
(map (lambda (x)
(let ((stil-ext (ly:stencil-extent x X)))
(ly:stencil-add

You might want to adjust some of the hard-coded values
(line-thickness, length of "protrusions," offset of bracket from
text), but this should get you started.
