[layout tweaks] 2. \justify, hyphenation, shift

[Germain G. Ivanoff-Trinadtzaty]

Dear all,

 

I'm setting vocal scores with, say, russian lyrics.
I'd like to remind (outside of the score) the text,
and to propose a translation
These paragraphs should be justified,
and could possibly appear on two columns.

 

So I use \justify to compute the gaps between words.
The gaps are sometimes too wide, especially when I shift to
short linewidths.
So I tried to introduce optionnal hyphenation in markups...
and could not.

 

Is it possible ?
And by the way, can I shift a paragraph in, say, 47 millimeters ?

 

Thanks,
Germain
