2009-09-12 Thread Helge Kruse
Hello, I have to notate a piece of music where I need a TextSpanner for playing instructions. One voice has to repeat a measure again and again, so I want to use faulenzer. But I also need the TextSpanner. The problem is, that the TextSpanner needs different notes to begin and end. With the
