Getting a function to accept a string or a markup

Hi, I have a text spanner function that shows a player that they are playing in simultaneous rhythm with one or more other players. I adapted it from code I used for indicating colouration in renaissance music. It works fine, but if it begins on the last note of a line, and the attached string is

Staff switch over page break spoils vertical spacing

Hi, When a staff-switch line goes over a page break, the first system in the next page is stretched and may cover the next system. In the example here, it nearly touches, but in a full score the top system is stretched beyond the bottom of the page. In the wild, a system may stretch over the
