A word of warning, Craig: if you have any non-"score-level"  
TextSpanner(s), this will likely give unexpected results. My  
suggestion is to put any "score-level" TextSpanner(s) in a separate  
variable, and then include it where you need it — this way works  
whether you want the spanners just at the top of the score, above  
every StaffGroup (for example), or in every staff.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
