Hi Oliver,

Nicolas' template is a very special one. He deals a lot with strings,
formating them in different ways.
And it works with 2.14.2 only (if you use the LSR-version)

You could try:

section =
#(define-music-function (parser location title) (markup?)
  (add-toc-item parser 'tocSectionMarkup title)
  ;(add-toplevel-markup parser (markup #:section-title
(string-upper-case title)))
  (add-toplevel-markup parser (markup #:section-title title))
  (add-no-page-break parser)
  (make-music 'Music 'void #t))

with

  \section \markup {
  \override #'(line-width . 40)
  \justify-string #"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
      adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore
      et dolore magna aliqua.


      Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco
      laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.


      Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa
      qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum"
}


But I'm not sure you realy want this output. :)

Please note that the string-upper-case-feature of \section doesn't
work any more.
