Hmm I had thought it was clear - but only in my mind. The second example
centerd the text but split what I intended for a single
line into four lines.
The one solution thanks to help from Phil Holmes was
stamp = \markup{\concat { "Engraved " \bold \date " with " \with-url
#"http://lilypond.org/"; "LilyPond " \simple
#(lilypond-version) " (http://lilypond.org/)" } }
And to use this variable in a markup which centerd the text on a line
\markup { \vspace#4
\fill-line {
""
{
\column {
\center-column {
\fontsize #1 \stamp
}
}
}
""
}
}
I fully realise that the variable stamp is not necessary in this case but it
was a technique I intend to use for other text that is
used more than once in a book.
