Hi,

I tried this, but unfortunately it does not work:

\version "2.18.2"

startText = #(define-music-function (parser location text notes)(markup? 
ly:music?)
   #{
     \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text =  #text
     #notes
     \startTextSpan
   #})
stopText = \stopTextSpan


\relative {
  \startText "rit"
  b1 c
  e,\stopText
}

I don’t know why. The \startTextSpan in the music-function causes this error:
syntax error, unexpected EVENT_IDENTIFIER


This works, however it is only half way to the solution:

startText = #(define-music-function (parser location text)(markup?)
   #{ \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text =  #text #})

\relative {
  \startText "rit"
   b1 \startTextSpan c
  e,\stopTextSpan
}

Cheers,
Joram
