Yes, it's a lot of code. Part of the reason that it's so long,
however, it that it is built on a rewrite of ly:line-spanner::print in
Scheme. So all of the default functionality is there: you can use
ordinary text spanners with no loss of functionality. (Though I may
need to add in arrows, IIRC.) It's conceived as an enhancement which
could replace the default print function, because any addition of
multi-text spanners to the code base should handle them without the
need for competing stencil functions.
