Re: \n in strings causes errors

[Mats Bengtsson]

Try something along the lines of
copyright = \markup { \teeny \override #'(baseline-skip . 0.5) \center-align
       {  "Copyright © 1994 Michael David Crawford"
   "This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share 
Alike 2.5 License."
   "To view a copy of this license, visit"
   "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/";
   "or send a letter to"
   "Creative Commons, 543 Howard Street, 5th Floor, San Francisco, 
California, 94105, USA." } }

and adjust the value after baseline-skip.
