Re: Simultaneous text spanners

[David Stocker]

One possible solution is to make a hidden voice. The code is a little 
more laborious, and you'll get lots of clashing note column warnings 
from the terminal, but it produces two separate spanners with individual 
start and stop points.

Hope that helps,

David
