I’m printing out attribution information in which the title of a work from which the text was translated is in italics. Attached is an example of the my results before I started this thread. The comma after “Sponsa Christi” is in italics (as you suggested was the more normal typographic practice) because it was inside the \italic command (and directly attached to “Christi”. I was looking to turn it upright since the comma isn’t part of the title of the original sequence.
The wrapping in this case is being handled by a modified \wordwrap-field, which was based on a discussion on the mailing list 6 years ago: https://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg131928.html. At the time I hadn’t considered the possibility of punctuation that I didn’t want formatted in the same way as the text it would be “attached” to, and recent work had me exploring that possibility. If need be, I can post that tool in it’s current form, but in creating my MWE I tried to use standard LilyPond commands as much as possible, and would rely on applying it to my non-standard command myself (which I have done for the solution that has been posted using \wordwrap-lines). I’ll point out that at this point the \wordwrap-lines solution works (now that I understand where it’s allowed to make wrapping decisions), at this point my questions are purely about understanding your (David’s) comments about \wordwrap-string. ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ Fr.
