RE: How to fix markup horizontal position relative to edge of page

[gruen . weinbach]

Hello,


maybe


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.24.0"


paperWidth = 180.0
lineWidth = 140
ind = #(/ (- paperWidth lineWidth) 2)


\paper {
  paper-width = \paperWidth
}


\score {
  \layout {
    line-width = \lineWidth
    indent =  \ind
    short-indent =  \ind


  }
  \repeat unfold 20 \relative c { c' d e f g a b  }
}
\markup   \wordwrap-string "Bacon ipsum dolor amet hamburger aliqua incididunt sunt 
in. Excepteur consequat ad laboris anim flank jowl. Irure drumstick shoulder dolor. Cupim 
tri-tip meatloaf prosciutto leberkas."


%%%%%%%%%%%%
btw: make a tiny example even more tiny with ' \repeat unfold #n'   ;-)



Juergen.
