Hi. In a large choral score I'd like to write a ritardando that appears
only in the top of the entire system (together with \tempo markings) -
without having to define the ritardando in the topmost staff. The voices in
the top staffgroup have no music (just a long series of rests) where the
ritardando is to be placed.
Is it possible to define a spanner in one voice and then move the text to
be positioned above the top staff?
In the example below I'd like to have "rit _ _ _ _ _ _al Lento" in the top
of the system.
Here's my attempt at a tiny example:
\version "2.16.2"
soprano = \relative c' {
\repeat unfold 2 { c8 e g }
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right text) = "al"
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right attach-dir) = #LEFT
d4\startTextSpan
\repeat unfold 2 { c8 e g }
c d \stopTextSpan
\tempo Lento
e2 d
}
alto = \relative c'' {
\repeat unfold 4 { g4 e g }
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff { R1*3 }
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff
\new Voice \soprano
\new Staff
\new Voice \alto
>>
>>
}
