Thanks Graham and Mats. I can now do what I want to
do. I was planning on putting a #:hspace ~0.5 after
the the finger number, but this gives an unexpected
result that looks no where near as good as putting a
space " " character after the finger number. The
number is much higher than it needs to be and the line
is only a little higher. It looks like the spanner
line is right at the base of the number, or left
edge-text. I would be interested in an explanation as
to why this happens, but it is not necessary. ly
below will show what I am talking about. The first
measure looks good, in the 2nd the line is too low
relative to the number. Thanks again. Chris
\version "2.6.0"
test = \relative c'' {
\override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #'()
\override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons (markup
#:center-align (#:finger "1 " ) " " ) "")
b\startTextSpan c c b\stopTextSpan | \revert
TextSpanner #'edge-text
\override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons (markup
#:center-align (#:finger "1") #:hspace -3.0 ) "")
b\startTextSpan c c b\stopTextSpan |
}
\score {
\test
