... and hardly any need for the text-spanner-line-count, as it's easy
to split up the text by system (since manual breaks are needed
anyway to control the placement) like this:
music = \relative {
% \override TextSpanner.text-spanner-line-count = #'(8 5)
\addTextSpannerText \lyricmode {
\markup \fontsize #1 \upright \smallCaps Abe:
"Say" "this" "over" "measures" "one" "and" "two"
}
<>\startTextSpan
a'4 a a a
a4 a a a
\stopTextSpan
\break
\addTextSpannerText \lyricmode {
"and" "this" "over" "measure" "three"
}
<>\startTextSpan
a4 a a a
\stopTextSpan
}
A function to split text at white space rather than having to surround
each word with quotes would make this quite useable, I think.
Certainly better than the way I did it in the NR.
One problem remains: the text overlaps if there is not enough room,
for example with ragged-right. This would be a nuisance for the
examples in the manuals, but in real scores ragged-right is not usually
used.
