It would lead to: moreVerticalDynamicTextSpannerWhiteout = #(define-music-function (parser location adds)(pair?) #{ \once \override DynamicTextSpanner #'stencil = #(lambda (grob) (let* ((stil (ly:line-spanner::print grob)) (x-ext (ly:stencil-extent stil X)) (y-ext (ly:stencil-extent stil Y))) (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'whiteout #t) (ly:make-stencil (ly:stencil-expr stil) (interval-widen x-ext (car adds)) (interval-widen y-ext (cdr adds))))) #}) Apply it with \moreVerticalDynamicTextSpannerWhiteout #'(0 . 2.5) Where the first number of the pair means additionally extension in X-axis, the second in Y-axis. Both values expand the stencil in two directions: The first left and right, the second below and above.
