% In this example, keep-inside-line only works on the last line

:::TeX
\version "2.11.44"

gpl =
\markup {
  \override #'(line-width . 40)
  \box
  \justify-string
  #"If you want to redistribute LilyPond, you must comply with the GNU
General Public License (reproduced below). This license applies to

}

\new Score \with {
  \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
}{
  b1 b b b b b b b b r1^\markup \gpl b \break
  b b b b b b b b \mark \markup \gpl b \break
  b b b b b b b b b b b^\markup \gpl b \break
}

It might be related to issue 160 or issue 436

Actually, the second line of my example is irrelevant (it's a different limitation,
also annoying but less easily fixable).

Correct code should be:

:::TeX
\new Score \with {
  \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
}{
  b1 b b b b b b b b R1^\markup \gpl b \break
  b1 b b b b b b b b R1^\markup \gpl b \break
}

% keep-inside-line doesn't work as you can see.

Summary: wrong placement of \markup on MultiMeasureRest

Hi Valentin,

I'm unsure whether this is a bug, since text attached to MultiMeasureRest grobs is
handled by MultiMeasureRestText. Your snippet works if you attach the markup text to
a skip:

:::TeX
\new Score \with {
  \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
}{
  b1 b b b b b b b b s1*0^\markup \gpl r1 b \break
  b1 b b b b b b b b R1^\markup \gpl b \break
}

It's not really ideal that you have to use skips in this case, but it is documented
under Rehearsal marks.

Regards,
Neil

Yes indeed. However, I still do think it's a bug (or at least, a needed improvement)
that MultiMeasureRestTexts aren't taken into account by PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line.

The workaround is certainly convenient and well documented, but it's still a
workaround. Therefore I'm keeping the issue open, but marking it as an Enhancement,
and changing the priority to Low.

The results of 2.15.15 are attached.

Attached to skips (workaround) and without skips (Ugly)

Bug persists in 2.19.27. With

:::TeX
\version "2.19.27"
\paper { #(set-paper-size "a5" 'landscape) indent = 0 }
#(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)
\header { tagline = ##f }

gpl =
\markup {
  \override #'(line-width . 40)
  \box \justify-string
  #"If you want to redistribute LilyPond, you must comply with the GNU
General Public License (reproduced below). This license applies to

\new Score \with {
  \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
} {
  b1 b b b b b b b b R1^\markup \gpl b \break
  b1 b b b b b b b b r1^\markup \gpl b \break
}

I get the attached result.
keep-inside-line is true by default, so the override is superfluous.
Note that the bug appears only with R (MMR), not with r (Rest).
