Please always tell what LilyPond version you use to
be sure to get a relevant answer.
If you use version 2.11.14 or earlier, you can do
\override TextSpanner #'edge-height = #'(0 . 1.2)
if you have a more recent 2.11 version, the solution is
a bit more complicate. The easiest way to figure out is
to specify a lower version number and use convert-ly
to update the syntax.

I was recently typesetting a Gershwin song with a very short (2-note) ottava
bracket, which needed the octavation text "8va bassa ad lib." This text is too
long for the bracket, so I considered reducing text size and using column
markup; but the Staff.octavation property takes text, not markup, and it doesn't
support font-size. Then I tried using a TextSpanner, but was unsuccessful in
getting the vertical edge at the end of the spanner. It seems that these
vertical edges are only supported for grobs that support the
horizontal-bracket-interface.
This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way of forcing the
TextSpanner to implement the horizontal-bracket-interface? I'm sure this would
involve overriding the stencil, which would be a daunting (if even possible)
task. Anyone have any ideas?
