Hi Colin, Yes we already have text spanners but they can interact only with other text spanners, IIRC. It is not clear what this feature would do precisely (and this certainly deserves a discussion with both users and developers, that's why I cc: both discussion lists). But personaly I would like "tempo spanners" to be able to interact with tempo indications (MetronomeMark) in the same idea DynamicTextSpanner interact with DynamicText. So a \tempo command would end a "tempo spanner".

Actually I would prefer non-bold but maybe italic (and 'dashed-line style) as default setting (see for example "rit.", "rall.", "accel."), but AFAICS some publishers print them upright, others italic. As usual, people could change these properties to what they want. On 13 February 2013 02:43, Colin Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks, Jay, that makes it much clearer. Just need some proposed syntax > now. Well, something like current syntax for TextSpanner would be OK I guess. But as far as I'm concerned I will certainly use a postfix syntax that does not need \set or \override to define the text before the note (like in the code of snippets "Dynamics text spanner postfix" and "Dynamics custom text spanner postfix" for DynamicTextSpanner in NR 1.8.1).
