Re: How to do TextSpanner + markup + override vertical placement all at the same time?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi;

  I figured out how to get the formatting of the "a tempo" and "rall."
merged with the text spanning; but I still can't seem to figure out
how to get the "a tempo" to be above the ottava marking.

  Updated screenshot attached.

  Attached full Lilypond code as well.

Thanks,
Ken
