Me too. The main problem I see is that \fromproperty returns a markup,
not a markup list. You try fudging around that, but that's not
convincing. So what I think is needed is a
\fromproperty-lines
instead. If course, this would require _all_ uses of page:title to
expect a property list.
Another approach would be to have a markup list command
\line-parts
that takes a line markup and splits it back into a markup list. Then
you can use something like
title = \markup { "First part" "second part" } (which is an implicit
form of \markup \line { "First part" "second part" }), and use something
like
\center-column \line-parts \fromproperty #'page:title
in order to get the split version.
In the end, this sounds like something that could benefit from the
"markup/markup-list unification" project.
