Oh, OK, I see -- I have to set the left-broken details before starting the text
spanner, and those details can't change.
It's possible that I might have a spanner covering three or more systems, where
the text might need to change twice (or more). So I was setting the left-broken
details in the middle, hoping it would take effect at the next system break.
But I guess the object is already created and its properties already
determined, and there's no going back to modify the current instance (not
without Scheme anyway, for which I don't have time, and it doesn't matter if I
notate it this way or another way).
OK, I'll consider another strategy.
Thanks,
James
