Hi Vaughan,

A bit more precise control is given by something like this:
%% Example start
\version "2.25.29"
\relative c'' {
\time 4/4
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup { \small \bold
\upright "accel." \hspace #0.5 }
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = \markup \small \bold
\upright \concat { \hspace #1 "a tempo " \note { 4 } #UP " = 104" }
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.padding = #1.5
c4 c c c |
c4 \startTextSpan c c c |
c4 c c c |
c4 c c c |
c4 \stopTextSpan c c c |
c4 c c c |
}
%% Example ends
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
