Hello all,

I’m trying to duplicate this type of “Safety” marking in my musical score(s):

Is there a Spanner.center.text property, or equivalent easy auto-hack (i.e., one that doesn’t require manual tweaking if the spanner length changes)?

I don't have time to work this out at the moment, but possibly you could adapt an analysis bracket.  Or for another hacky solution, you could mess with a MeasureCounter stencil, like I did here:

It's on openlilylib:

My adaptation there was pretty piecemeal--only enough to get the limited case working, apparently.

Maybe what you're wanting should get its own grob?
