Re: more than one TextSpanner

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems that you can not have more than a single simultaneous text
spanner in the same voice. However, your attempt to place the inner
text spanner in a separate voice should work well. You just have to note
that any setting done with
\once \override
will only apply to the next note, so you have to add these lines just before
the e'\startTextSpan. Since the Voice context is temporary anyway, you
could also simply remove the \once. Here's one version of your code that
works

\version "2.10.0"
\transpose c c' {
\textSpannerDown
\once \override TextSpanner #'padding = #1
\override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #'("Pizzicatto " . "")
d8[\startTextSpan fis b d']

\new Voice {
\textSpannerUp
a8[ cis'
\once \override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #'("II " . "")
\once \override TextSpanner #'direction = #1
\once \override TextSpanner #'style = #'line
\once \override TextSpanner #'edge-height = #'(0 . 0.5)
\once \override TextSpanner #'padding = #1.5
\once \override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #'()
e'\startTextSpan a']\stopTextSpan
}

d8[ fis b d']\stopTextSpan

\stopTextSpan
}
