Hello list,

I have a problem concerning textspanner, and found this E-Mail:

This is just half of the solution I'm looking for:
The dashed line after the linebreak should begin together with the first
note in the new line, but it does begin at the big brace, and in my
opinion this does look quite bad.

Can someone help, please, or tell me, where I'm wrong?
