No, no, no, I explicitly set period and fraction, and LilyPond *silently*
overrides my values, replacing them with a very ugly trade-off in the given
example, and I have *zero* chance to get what I want without ad-hoc fiddling of
the parameters. This can't be right!
IMHO we must have a new option that makes lilypond behave exactly as specified
by those parameters, without any scaling – at the cost of a larger gap after
the left spanner text (we probably need another new parameter 'offset' to
specify the maximum size of this gap). It is OK with me if the current
behaviour you describe above is the default and the behaviour I want has to be
activated separately.

For a text spanner, the length of the (left) text element
must not influence the distance between and the length of
dashes.
Here is a counterexample.
