Hi list,

I want to create a template for a cover page. I do that by redefining bookTitleMarkup. The title of the piece is stored as string in a variable and I want to print it relatively tall on the cover page. It works.
But sadly when the title is too long it runs off the page, because LilyPond does not automatically break the line. How can I get LilyPond to break the line automatically when the title runs off page?

My ME is:

\version "2.19.22"

title = "Many many words may result in a title that is too long for one line"

\paper {

bookTitleMarkup = \markup {

\fontsize #15 \title

}

}

\book {

\relative c' {c d e f }

}

Thanks,

Jonathan
