Minimum lengths can only work if you use spanners, but you can hijack the tempo print function for a text spanner (and suppress the line afterwards) and then create a scheme engraver for text spanner that uses whatever as the left bound and the next bar line's non-musical paper column as the right bound. Or you could just use the existing engraver and use the last note in the measure as a bound, although this will potentially create uneven spacing in a measure. You'll have to manually put this TextSpanner in the topmost context and/or use ly:side-position-interface::move-to-extremal-staff (I'd recommend the former, as the latter is powerful but falls in the category of LilyPond black magic). Make sure to use springs and rods and set a minimum-length - there's an example in the docs with a hairpin or glissando or something spanner-y that does this. That's my not-so-subtle way of blowing you off :-) Not that it's not a good request (it is excellent and I'd use it!) but the solution is definitely within reach for many-a-schemers on this list (especially as there is a custom text-script engraver already in the docs somewhere). I'm gonna try to focus on things that need changing in the C++ or in difficult Scheme. Happy holidays!
