However, (re-)using engravers for the "picking apart" bit in a context

Want several text spanners? Use several contexts.
This reminds me: the ‘standard’ use case for this kind of text spanner
is ri -- tar -- dan -- do or the like, i.e. actually a Tempo Spanner
<https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/3176/>. It would make
sense to have this in a separate context (TempoLine?) at the top of the
system. However, as I already said in the issue, tempo spanners should
correspond to MetronomeMarks in syntax, so this would require complete
abandoning of the current \tempo syntax, wouldn’t it? Alternatively, we
might retain the current method as is and add a new one with support for
tempo spanners, entered in a manner alike to lyrics entering:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
timeTrack = {
\time 3/4
Prestissimo2.
\bar "||"
\time 2/2
Larghetto1*4
ral2 -- len --
tan -- do
s1
\bar "|."
}
music = \relative {
c'4 e8 g c4
e,2 fis4 gis
a2 e
c e4 c
a2 a'4 g
f2 g
a h
c1\fermata
}
\score {
<<
\new TempoLine \timeTrack
\new Staff \music
>>
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Which looks promising, if you ask me…
Yours, Simon
