Does this help? \version "2.19" \layout { \context { \type "Engraver_group" \name "ScoreSpanner" \consists "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Metronome_mark_engraver" \override MetronomeMark.Y-offset = #0 \consists "Time_signature_engraver" \override TimeSignature.stencil = #point-stencil \consists "Text_spanner_engraver" \markLengthOff \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = #DOWN } \context { \Score \accepts "ScoreSpanner" \remove "Metronome_mark_engraver" } } tempoMarks = { \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup { \combine \bold \upright "rall." \transparent "ty" } \time 4/4 \tempo "Allegro" 4 = 98 s1 s1*7/8 \startTextSpan s8 \stopTextSpan s1 \bar "|." } localSpanner = { \override Staff.TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup { \medium \upright \whiteout "sul pont." } } musicOne = \relative c' { \localSpanner c4 \startTextSpan d e f | g a \stopTextSpan b c | c8 b a g f e d c | } musicTwo = \relative c' { \localSpanner c'8 b a g f e d \startTextSpan c | c4 d e f8 8 | g4 \stopTextSpan a b c } \score { << \new ScoreSpanner \tempoMarks \new StaffGroup << \new Staff \musicOne \new Staff \musicTwo >> >> } \markup { \vspace #2 } \score { << \new ScoreSpanner \tempoMarks \new StaffGroup << \new Staff \musicTwo >> >> } Cheers, Kieren. _______________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer www: <http://www.kierenmacmillan.info> email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
