Example, please. I *really* don't know how to create `8___|' as a
markup text.
In general I think it's problematic to have special cases for spanners
which can't be handled by default. What about this: In case a single
note gets both a `\spanrequest \start ...' and a `\spanrequest \stop
...', lilypond automatically creates a dummy grob positioned at the
same place as the note (and having the same properties) which serves
as the second item for the spanner. There are a *lot* of useful
applications for this:
. Ottava lines as described above
. Pedal markers `Ped. *' for a single note.
. l.v. ties, i.e. short ties which start at a given note but don't
have an end note -- have a look into Debussy's piano preludes for
examples.
and so on.
