Thanks, both, for your help on this. Regarding \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left-broken.text = ##f
In section 3.1.122 of the internals reference, I see 'left.broken' as an item in the 'bound-details' list but with no indication of what it does, nor that 'left-broken.text' is possible and the values that could take. How could I have found this out from the documentation? As suggested, the thread linked to by Pierre seems to be a good bet. It has taken me some time to read through it all and try out the various attached files. I am quite happy to install version 2.19.27, so that I can get the result I want (with dotted lines). More likely I shall install v2.19.30, which seems to be the latest. Has any of the material developed in connection with the "Text centralized above a TextSpan" thread actually been incorporated into v2.19.30, or is that yet to come?
