Greetings -

I'm running LY 2.12.3 under Ubuntu.

I prefer underscores in "cresc. _  _  _  _  " to dashes  "cresc. - - - -", so I've been using a textSpanner with "cresc."

However, I have a collision with a bar line. Is there a way to add whiteout to the text in a textSpanner?

Pondly,

Ralph

Sorry for the noise - I figured it out :

\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = \markup \whiteout \pad-markup #0.5 {"cresc. "}
