Re: text spanner collapse

[Martin Bergande]

I tried both before: The edge-text version which as I know is much more elegant 
is of no advantage to me and the separation-item which I use quite often 
doesn't give a satisfying result here, since the 8.-16-rhythm is used in a 
linear context with much longer notes that either become too seperated or seem 
to be even shorter than my 8. I thought something similar to

\override SystemStartBrace #'collapse-height = ##f

might exist.

Yours truly,

Martin
