LilyPond Notation Reference: A.13 Text markup list commands

## A.13 Text markup list commands

The following commands can all be used with `\markuplist`:

`\column-lines` args (markup list)

  Like `\column`, but return a list of lines instead of a single markup. `baseline-skip` determines the space between each markup in args.

  Used properties:

  - `baseline-skip`
`\justified-lines` args (markup list)

  Like `\justify`, but return a list of lines instead of a single markup. Use `\override-lines #'(line-width . X)` to set the line width; X is the number of staff spaces.

  Used properties:

  - `text-direction` (`1`)
  - `word-space`
  - `line-width` (`#f`)
  - `baseline-skip`
`\map-commands` compose (procedure) args (markup list)

  This applies the function compose to every markup in args (including elements of markup list command calls) in order to produce a new markup list. Since the return value from a markup list command call is not a markup list but rather a list of stencils, this requires passing those stencils off as the results of individual markup calls. That way, the results should work out as long as no markups rely on side effects.

`\override-lines` new-prop (pair) args (markup list)

  Like `\override`, for markup lists.

`\score-lines` score (score)

  This is the same as the `\score` markup but delivers its systems as a list of lines. Its score argument is entered in braces like it would be for `\score`.

`\string-lines` strg (string)

  Takes the string strg and splits it at the character provided by the property `split-char`, defaulting to `#\newline`. Surrounding whitespace is removed from every resulting string. The returned list of markups is ready to be formatted by other markup or markup list commands like `\column`, `\line`, etc.

  >     \markup {
  >       \column
  >         \string-lines
  >          "foo, foo,
  >          bar, bar,
  >          buzz, buzz!"
  >     }

  Used properties:

  - `split-char` (`#\newline`)
`\table` column-align (number list) lst (markup list)

  Returns a table.

  column-align specifies how each column is aligned, possible values are -1, 0, 1. The number of elements in column-align determines how many columns will be printed. The entries to print are given by lst, a markup-list. If needed, the last row is filled up with `point-stencil`s. Overriding `padding` may be used to increase columns horizontal distance. Overriding `baseline-skip` to increase rows vertical distance.

  >     % A markup command to print a fixed-width number.
  >     \markup fwnum =
  >       \markup \override #'(font-features . ("ss01" "-kern"))
  >         \number \etc

  >     \markuplist {
  >       \override #'(padding . 2)
  >       \table
  >         #'(0 1 0 -1)
  >         {
  >           \underline { center-aligned right-aligned
  >                         center-aligned left-aligned }
  >           one      \fwnum    1 thousandth \fwnum 0.001
  >           eleven   \fwnum   11 hundredth  \fwnum 0.01
  >           twenty   \fwnum   20 tenth      \fwnum 0.1
  >           thousand \fwnum 1000 one        \fwnum 1.0
  >         }
  >     }

  Used properties:

  - `baseline-skip`
  - `padding` (`0`)
`\table-of-contents`

  Used properties:

  - `baseline-skip`
`\wordwrap-internal` justify (boolean) args (markup list)

  Internal markup list command used to define `\justify` and `\wordwrap`.

  Used properties:

  - `text-direction` (`1`)
  - `word-space`
  - `line-width` (`#f`)
`\wordwrap-lines` args (markup list)

  Like `\wordwrap`, but return a list of lines instead of a single markup. Use `\override-lines #'(line-width . X)` to set the line width, where X is the number of staff spaces.

  Used properties:

  - `text-direction` (`1`)
  - `word-space`
  - `line-width` (`#f`)
  - `baseline-skip`
`\wordwrap-string-internal` justify (boolean) arg (string)

  Internal markup list command that is used to define `\justify-string` and `\wordwrap-string`.

  Used properties:

  - `text-direction` (`1`)
  - `word-space`
  - `line-width`
