No simple way to do it currently, as far as I know.

I have been offering to sponsor such a function for a couple of years, as it 
would be invaluable to the engravings of my music dramas (chamber operas, 
musicals, etc.). No luck to date.

But now that spanners with multiple texts have been [totally? almost totally?] 
worked out, perhaps what we want can finally be done fairly easily. David 
Nalesnik or David Kastrup (explicitly cc’ed here) would know better than I…

Cheers,
Kieren.
