As you correctly found out, as a matter of fact line breaks will not work in your code. As I did a lot of programming in the past I do not think that is wrong but usually a rule in such code arrangements. Another point is the comment mark "%" that invalidates the rest of the line CR etc. included ...

Simply read
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/formatting-text.html
there is an example that you might adjust to your wish.

\markup {
  \fill-line {
    \line { William S. Gilbert }
    \center-column {
      \huge \smallCaps "The Mikado"
      or
      \smallCaps "The Town of Titipu"
    }
    \line { Sir Arthur Sullivan }
  }
}
\markup {
  \fill-line { 1885 }
}


Good luck!

There are lots of "%", say comments, that validate the rest of the line including braces.

\fill-line { \meter \arranger }

I'm not sure what you mean here: perhaps *in*validate?

The point is that the line break that should appear after "% meter" so that "\arranger" is not included in the comment and instead properly interpreted by Lilypond must be incorrect in the original .ly file. Notice also the clue that line breaks in what the enquirer describes as her "title information" do not appear correctly in the archive rendering.
