-font families. The default serif font, of roman type, is automatically
-selected unless specified otherwise: on the last line of the following example,

Markup objects may be aligned in different ways. By default,
a text indication is aligned on its left edge: in the following

A markup object may include several lines of text.
In the following example, each element or expression
-is placed on its own line:
-
-
-
-
-\rotate
-\transparent
-\whiteout
-
-Vertical alignment:
-\vcenter
-\column
-\dir-column
-

+is placed on its own line, either left-aligned or centered:
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+\markup {
+ \column {
+ a
+ "b c"
+ \line { d e f }
+ }
+ \hspace #10
+ \center-align {
+ a
+ "b c"
+ \line { d e f }
+ }
+}
+@end lilypond
+Similarly, a list of elements or expressions may be
+spread to fill the entire horizontal line width -- if there
+is only one element, it will be centered on the page.
+These expressions can, in turn, include multi-line text
+or any other markup expression:
-@end ignore
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+\markup {
+ \fill-line {
+ \line { William S. Gilbert }
+ \center-align {
+ \huge \smallCaps "The Mikado"
+ or
+ \smallCaps "The Town of Titipu"
+ }
+ \line { Sir Arthur Sullivan }
+ }
+}
+\markup {
+ \fill-line { 1885 }
+}
+@end lilypond
+Long text indications can also be automatically wrapped
+accordingly to the given line width. These will be
+either left-aligned or justified, as shown in
+the following example.
-Some objects have alignment procedures of their own, which cancel
-out any effects of alignments applied to their markup arguments as
-a whole. For example, the @rinternals{RehearsalMark} is
-horizontally centered, so using @code{\mark \markup @{ \left-align
-.. @}} has no effect.
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+\markup {
+ \column {
+ \line \smallCaps { La vida breve }
+ \line \bold { Acto I }
+ \wordwrap \italic {
+ (La escena representa el corral de una casa de
+ gitanos en el Albaicín de Granada. Al fondo una
+ puerta por la que se vé el negro interior de
+ una Fragua, iluminado por los rojos resplandores
+ del fuego.)
+ }
+ \hspace #0
+
+ \line \bold { Acto II }
+ \override #'(line-width . 50)
+ \justify \italic {
+ (Calle de Granada. Fachada de la casa de Carmela
+ y su hermano Manuel con grandes ventanas abiertas
