Now it's possible to come up with a rudimentary grob, but doing this right seems like it would be quite a task, since there will be all sorts of complications like --Should this be an enhancement of TextSpanner, or a new grob? (The latter would be easier, I would think.) --The ability to break the spanner line to accommodate the text, with tweakable surrounding space --Situations like ri -- tar --- dan --- do (which we really should support with TextSpanners) --Ability to center text on the "musical" space (discounting prefatory material like meter and key signature) or between barlines.. --What to do with such spanners broken across lines. This would be a great capability to have, of course, and I've thought about it recently. (I have to make chord-spelling exercises with centered Roman numerals, and I don't like using the extra-offset trick I've been using.) And I'd love to work on it, too, but time is limited and I can't offer more than "maybe sometime" :( --David
