Hey all, I'm working on a piece where the thickness of a text spanner represents playing intensity, and in writing it, I'm realizing that the thickness of text spanners has an effect on their X extents (see the minimal example below). This is due (I think) to the round-cap line ending. I would gladly use non-rounded lines so that they stop consistently at the same horizontal spot independent of their thickness. Before I dive into my git repository to cobble together a solution, if any of you know a way to get around this problem by standardizing the horizontal lengths of text spanners, I'd appreciate it!
