RE: textspan

[Erik Appeldoorn]

I still must be blind, but haven't got the solution to work.
I have tried:

        << { d2 d4 | cis a2} \new Voice { \tsRal s2.\startTextSpan s4 | s
s2\stopTextSpan } >> |

and tried:

        { d2 d4 | cis a2} \new Voice { \tsRal s2.\startTextSpan s4 | s
s2\stopTextSpan } | 

Then I tried:

<< { \tsRal s2.\startTextSpan s4 | s s2\stopTextSpan } \\
        { d2 d4 | cis a2} >>

And nothing seems to work. So I think it must be me, misunderstanding
something
