Re: text spanner collapse

[Mats Bengtsson]

One solution is to widen the spacing between the notes slightly, so
that the spanner gets sufficiently long even when shortened. Try to
insert something like
\once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #2
between the two notes.

Also, I don't really understand why you don't specify the \open
and \stopped as an edge-text of the text spanner. Try
\override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons (markup #:musicglyph
"scripts.open" ) (markup #:musicglyph "scripts.stopped" ) )
