I figured it out, I had to make a spacer notes in a seperate voice to cover the system break. e.g.
%%%%% << \new Voice { \once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup { \upright \huge "molto rit." } s1\startTextSpan s1 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8\stopTextSpan %here is where the system break occured } \new Voice { r1 r1 r1 } >> r1\startTextSpan r1\stopTextSpan %%%% On Sun, Oct 14, 2018 at 2:27 AM Ryan Michael <ryan.wiegh...@gmail.com> wrote: > THank you Pierre, > exactly what i was looking for.
