Hi,
Using a TextSpanner, is there a way to change the text in the middle, so that
the new text appears at the next system break (whichever bar that is)?
\version "2.19.80"
\language "english"
\relative c' {
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "abc"
c1 \startTextSpan
\repeat unfold 20 { c1 }
c1\stopTextSpan
}
With default settings, LP engraves 11 bars on the first line, putting bar 12 on
the next. I know I could stop the spanner at the end of bar 11 and start a new
one on bar 12, but future changes might move the line breaks, so I would rather
not have to hardcode. I would like to set some property in the middle of the
spanner and have it take effect at the next automatic system break.
I tried overriding TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text -- no difference on the
second line.
Same for TextSpanner.bound-details.left-broken.text -- if "left-broken" has a
text property, it's ignored for rendering.
If it's too hard, I can change the notation style. (It's a score for computer
ensemble. The text indicates which patch and which variant to play. The variant
might change in the middle. I'd like the text to change accordingly. If it
isn't possible, I'll use the spanner only for the patch name, and put the
variant underneath.)
Thanks,
James
