Re: Text centralized above a TextSpan

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Caio,

Welcome to the list.

I am not sure how long you may have been following things, but this topic came 
up for me recently, and there is various discussion in the archives. In a 
nutshell, the answer is not really. It’s possible of course, but can it be done 
simply and easily, that’s the point. Presently I am working on a solution to 
enable lilypond to do this nicely. I came up with two half baked solutions, one 
involving modifying a text spanner, another modifying a markup, but neither of 
these is satisfactory. I am commencing some work to make an engraver to do the 
job.

I continue to be amazed how useful such a capability would be, and how many 
people request it. Certainly this sort of thing is all through the contemporary 
music scores I deal with. It’s something I hope to see incorporated into 
lilypond one day. As to timeframes for my solution - don’t hold your breath!

Andrew
