Hi Dominic,
seems the following minimal example works, though, I've really no clue
about the drawbacks.
\version "2.17.25"
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\consists "Text_spanner_engraver"
\override TextSpanner #'after-line-breaking =
#ly:side-position-interface::move-to-extremal-staff
}
\context {
\Voice
\remove "Text_spanner_engraver"
}
}
mI = \new Staff { c\startTextSpan d\stopTextSpan }
mII = \new Staff { c\startTextSpan d\stopTextSpan }
\new StaffGroup <<
\mI
\mII
>>
\mI
\mII
Cheers,
Harm
