Indeed. But I think that if you’re looking for something simple, that
remains the easiest way by far:
%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
insertTextSpan =
#(define-music-function (txt) (markup?)
(make-music 'CrescendoEvent
; 'tweaks (list (cons 'font-shape 'upright))
'span-direction START
'span-type 'text
'span-text txt))
{
b1\insertTextSpan "poco"
b
b\insertTextSpan "a"
b
b\insertTextSpan \markup \bold "poco"
b
b\!
}
%%%%
Cheers,
