Hi John,
there's no out of the box function for this.
You can use TextScript and adjust it manually:
{
\override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = #'()
\override TextScript.staff-padding = #'()
%\override TextScript.X-offset = 40
\override TextScript.Y-offset = 0
c''^\markup \oval \with-dimensions #'(1 . 9) #'(-10 . 10) \null
d'' e'' f''
}
{
\override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = #'()
\override TextScript.staff-padding = #'()
%\override TextScript.X-offset = 40
\override TextScript.Y-offset = 0
c''^\markup \oval \with-dimensions #'(0.8 . 9) #'(-4 . 4) \null
d'' e'' f''
}
Maybe David Nalesnik's frame-engraver could be forced to do so as well.
But this would require some work for sure, if possible at all ... and
I'm not really familiar with his coding.
Cheers,
Harm
