OK, here is a function that works much better. It works very much like Graham's recent "extra" dynamics: you can either have a predefined TextSpanner, either define your spanners on-the-fly through a music-function (but in this case you have to enter it *before* the starting note). %%%%%%%%%%%%% #(define (make-text-span txt) "Make a TextSpanner that begins with the given STR." (let* ((m (make-music 'TextSpanEvent 'span-direction -1)) (details (cdr (assoc 'bound-details (cdr (assoc 'TextSpanner all-grob-descriptions))))) (left-details (cdr (assoc 'left details)))) (ly:music-set-property! m 'tweaks (acons 'bound-details (acons 'left (acons 'text txt left-details) details) (ly:music-property m 'tweaks))) m)) textSpan= #(define-music-function (location parser txt) (string?) (make-text-span txt)) rit = #(make-text-span "rit") \relative{ b'1\textSpan #"rit" e, f\stopTextSpan b'\rit c\stopTextSpan } %%%%%%%%%%%%%% Cheers, Valentin _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
