The problem is the #'2.5 -- it should be #2.5. With #'2.5, I think 
you're telling Lilypond you have symbol called "2.5"; and I'm pretty 
sure that would be an illegal symbol name.


Also, I believe TextSpanner happens in a Voice context. So perhaps it 
should be:

\override Voice.TextSpanner  #'staff-padding = #2.5

Let us know how this works out.
