An enhancement of the stencil callback would be needed to allow for all the possibilities of TextSpanner, 'style, for example. Here's a sketch: \version "2.19.27" %%% REQUIRED #(define (connector grob) (let* ((lb (ly:spanner-bound grob LEFT)) (rb (ly:spanner-bound grob RIGHT)) (common-x (ly:grob-common-refpoint lb rb X)) (l-ext (ly:grob-extent lb common-x X)) (r-ext (ly:grob-extent rb common-x X)) (x-coord (ly:grob-relative-coordinate lb common-x X))) (ly:stencil-translate-axis (ly:line-interface::line grob (cdr l-ext) 0.0 (car r-ext) 0.0) (- x-coord) X))) << \new Lyrics \lyricmode { %\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT "rit"1*2 -- "tar"2*5 -- "dan"2*3 -- "do"1 } \new Staff { c2 c c2 c c2 c c2 c \break c2 c c2 c c2 c c2 c } >> \layout { \context { \Lyrics \override LyricHyphen.style = #'dashed-line \override LyricHyphen.dash-fraction = 0.2 \override LyricHyphen.dash-period = 3.0 \override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic \override LyricHyphen.stencil = #connector } } %%% DN
