(Lilypond 2.19.15) Dear all,
As you can see from the image and the attached file, I have achieved an independent text/tempo spanner by creating a special context containing only the spanner and letting the Score context 'accept' it. I only understand this technique about 70%, as I hacked it together from snippets I found online. Unfortunately, the "rall..." line is 'sitting' on top of an invisible line created by the existence of the metronome mark. (Removing the metronome mark allows the spanner to 'fall down' nearer to the staff.) How can I get both the metronome mark and the tempo spanner to be interpreted on a single line in the Score context AND still have full independence of text spanners within individual staffs? A crude and forced temporary solution would be to do Score.TextSpanner.Y-offset = #(negative number) on a case-by-case basis, but in a real-life situation this would not be practical (I am working on an orchestral score with thousands of bars which needs to be robust) Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
