you researched the cause for problems while attaching TextSpanner to
spacers using custom-scheme-engravers.
May it be possible the problem is present in the original .cc-coded as well?
At least I don't see any problem with attached TextSpanners as soon as
I change a spacer to a real note-event in Rutger's code:
It appears to be related to the X-position of the right-bound text:
if it's too far to the left, it won't be printed.
Change the right-padding override in your example to 10, and the text
will also disappear.
By the way, I read in Rutger's original snippet:
% Need padding to keep at the same vertical position:
This appears to be a misunderstanding of what
bound-details.right.padding is. It controls the X-position of the
spanner endpoint. It's not a measure of the distance from the staff,
for which you'd need TextSpanner.padding, or
TextSpanner.staff-padding.
That being said, the following adjusted definition of spanners should do it:
spanners = {
s2*7 |
s4
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "(poco accel."
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = "poco rit.)"
% moves endpoint LEFT
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.padding = 4
% Need padding to keep at the same vertical position:
\override TextSpanner.padding = #2
<>\startTextSpan s4 |
s2 |
s4. <>\stopTextSpan s8 |
s4 <>^\markup{a tempo} s4 |
}
