Re: textSpanner at arbitrary positions independent of music

[Ryan Michael]

I figured it out, I had to make a spacer notes in a seperate voice to cover the system break. e.g. 

%%%%%

<<

\new Voice {

\once 

\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text =

  \markup { \upright \huge "molto rit." }

s1\startTextSpan s1 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8\stopTextSpan %here is where the system break occured 

}

\new Voice {

r1 r1 r1

}

>>

r1\startTextSpan r1\stopTextSpan 

%%%%

THank you Pierre,

exactly what i was looking for. However, how can i turn off the left textSpan property if i want to span four bars which is broken over two systems, and i don't wish to repeat the "molto rit" for the left attribute of the span in the second system?

Hi Ryan,

Your example does not compile.

How about putting the text into the sapnner ?

Cf. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-text.html#text-spanners

Cheers,

Pierre

Hi all

So i have a scenario where I want a textSpanner to follow a heading i have 

over the treble clef of a system where there is only action in the left hand (Bass clef). e.g. 

%%%%%

\version "2.18.2"

up = \new Staff = "up" {
r1/^\markup{\huge "molto rit."}  r1\startTextSpanner r1 r1\stopTextSpanner

}

down = \new Staff = "down" {
c,,4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4 c4

}

{

  \new PianoStaff <<

         \up

   \down

  >>

}

%%%%

my issues is that i want the spanner to really start immediately after the markup. do i have to make some fake notes in the right hand to anchor the spanner or can i just move it around by other means? 

best, 

ryan.
