Ah, OK. I see what the issue is. The lines are drawn centered to the
baseline. (Up TextSpanner.thickness and you'll get a vivid demonstration.)
This correction can be automated. Try running this example:
\relative c' {
\override TextSpanner.thickness = 5
\override TextSpanner.line-X-offset = #'(0.5 . 0.5)
\override TextSpanner.line-Y-offset =
#(lambda (grob)
(let* ((line-th (ly:staff-symbol-line-thickness grob))
(th (* (ly:grob-property grob 'thickness 1.0) line-th)))
(/ th 2.0)))
\addTextSpannerText #'("ral" "len" "tan" "do")
c1\startTextSpan
d'1\stopTextSpan
}
--David
