Well, another improvement that I'd love to see is the ability to define
the TextSpanner text *in* the \startTextSpan command, i.e. _after_ the
note.

  b1\startTextSpan "rit."  % here the textspan text
  e,\stopTextSpan

instead of the current

  \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."
  b1\startTextSpan
  e,\stopTextSpan

There was already a discussion about this but I can't find it again.
I think this request was maybe introduced by Kieren.?.

This postfix syntax is currently possible for DynamicTextSpanner,
thanks to Reinhold's work.
