What am I doing wrong?
Here you really need to use \column-lines... The idea behind the whole markuplines construction is: - -) \markuplines takes a list of lines and prints them out - -) \column-lines tells lilypond to interpret its contents as lines. - -) \wordwrap-lines, on the other hand, simply takes its concatenated contents, calculates wordwraps and returns a list of word-wrapped lines. Thus any \line inside \wordwrap-lines won't have any effect. So, basically, each \markuplines should typically be followed by \column-lines, and the contents of \column-lines should either be individual lines or lists of lines generated by \wordwrap-lines, \justified-lines and the like.
