Is there a way of writing

\override #'(line-width . 100)

so that the value is interpreted as mm rather than staff-spacings?

Recent 2.25 releases have the scheme function to-staff-space, Otherwise you can get the conversion factor from the paper.

\version "2.25.22" staffspaceinmm = #(ly:output-def-lookup $defaultpaper 'staff-space) lorem = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum." \layout { indent = 0 } { c'1^\markup { \override #`(line-width . ,(/ 100 staffspaceinmm)) \wordwrap-string { \lorem } } \break c'1^\markup { \override #`(line-width . ,(to-staff-space 100 'mm)) \wordwrap-string { \lorem } } }
