Wow, that's quite challenging!

This doesn't work:

\version "2.23.11"

\paper {
  line-width = 29\cm
}

\markup \rotate #90 \score {
  \layout {
    ragged-right = ##f
  }
  { c'1 }
}


This does:

\version "2.23.11"

\markup \rotate #90 \score {
  \layout {
    line-width = 29\cm
    ragged-right = ##f
  }
  { c'1 }
}

This also does:

\version "2.23.11"

\paper {
  line-width = 29\cm
  check-consistency = ##f
}

\markup \rotate #90 \score {
  \layout {
    ragged-right = ##f
  }
  { c'1 }
}

Hope that helps,
