I'm attaching a rewrite of the code which allows an easy mix of
markups/strings and interprets hyphens as connectors.
Now there's no need for a TextSpanner.connectors property.
... and hardly any need for the text-spanner-line-count, as it's easy
to split up the text by system (since manual breaks are needed
anyway to control the placement) like this:
music = \relative {
% \override TextSpanner.text-spanner-line-count = #'(8 5)
\addTextSpannerText \lyricmode {
\markup \fontsize #1 \upright \smallCaps Abe:
"Say" "this" "over" "measures" "one" "and" "two"
}
<>\startTextSpan
a'4 a a a
a4 a a a
\stopTextSpan
\break
\addTextSpannerText \lyricmode {
"and" "this" "over" "measure" "three"
}
<>\startTextSpan
a4 a a a
\stopTextSpan
}
I don’t quite understand your reasoning here; in my eyes it’s better to
have only one TextSpanner and override its text-spanner-line-count than
to split up the spanners. David N.s examples show the use of this in
conjunction with manual breaks, which works fine.
A function to split text at white space rather than having to surround
each word with quotes would make this quite useable, I think.
The quotes are unnecessary anyway (except if we want to use \markup): we
are in lyricmode. They only stayed there as an oversight.
Certainly better than the way I did it in the NR.
One problem remains: the text overlaps if there is not enough room,
A known limitation: note spacing stays as-is.
Yours, Simon
