Re: markup in textspanner doens't work well

Dear Jethro,
Yes, You are right. It sems to be the best solution, but it is a bit strange, that the quarter-note is not printed. I would prefer in this case this solution, if it would be possible

Hi Stefan,

Indeed it looks like it's not accepting the note markup, although I don't
get parsing errors. But why not code it like this?

 {

  \override Staff.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = #"rit."

  \time 4/4
  \clef bass

    c4 \startTextSpan c e f\stopTextSpan
  \tempo 4 = 60
    g1
 }

Best regards,

Jethro.
