What you want to do is to stack them side-by-side using markup
commands, rather like this:
\markup {
\fill-line {
\hspace #1.0 % add more of these at the beginning and end
\hspace #1.0 % to move the verses closer together
\column {
"5. The fifth verse goes here"
"With all its many lines"
}
\hspace #3 % The argument does matter here!
\column {
"6. The sixth verse goes here"
"With all its many lines"
\hspace #1.0 % Delete these at beginning and end
\hspace #1.0 % if the verses are wide and you need room
}
}
}
If you need to put verses on top over verses, like this
Verse 3 Verse 4
Verse 5 Verse 6
You can make a column of verses using code like this:
\markup {
\large {
\fill-line { % This centers the words, which looks nicer
\hspace #1.0 % gives the fill-line something to work with
\column {
"4. Verse four's first line"
"And verse four's second"
"Is followed by a third line"
"And then by a fourth"
\hspace #1.0 % (Basically inserts a blank line; the argument
is irrelevant)
"5. Verse five's first line"
" . . . etc. . . . "
}
\hspace #1.0 % gives the fill-line something to work with
}
}
}
Hope that helps.

First of all, as I have just recently started to learn LilyPond, thanks for a
great software. It seems to handle almost anything regarding music.
However, I cannot find out how to add lyrics or stanzas into two or more
columns after the score (like verse 2 and 3 side by side). How can this be
done?
I have searched the archives, but nothing comes up.
