when the text spanner ends on the first note after a linebreak it is 
supressed, don't know why but I found this:
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg42025.html

ending the spanner after a hidden note fixes it. Setting the left-broken text 
suppresses the printing of "Pdlt." again at the beginning of the line.

        \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "Pdlt. "
        \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left-broken text) = 
\markup\null
        d8 \startTextSpan e f e |
        f8 g a4 |
        f8 e d a |
        f4 e |
        d2*1/2 \hideNotes d4 \stopTextSpan  \unHideNotes \clef bass |
