problem with extending 'magnetic snapping lyrics' engraver

I'm trying to generalize the 'magnetic snapping lyrics' engraver (the most recent version posted as https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-05/msg00389.html) by providing a new property `hyphen-formatter`, to be used instead of the hard-coded `ly:lyric-hyphen::print`. Attached you c

'baroque' time signatures

In modern transcriptions of baroque music it is custom to use time signatures for half the length. For example, if you have 4/2 bar, the time signature shows 'C'; if you have a 6/1 bar, the time signature shows '3/1'. Is there a simple way to get the equivalent to the following (invalid) syntax

For `DynamicTextSpanner` grobs there exists the auxiliary `DynamicLineSpanner` grob, providing a vertical baseline to align successive dynamic grobs within a staff. LilyPond provides other such pairs like `CenteredBarNumber` vs. `CenteredBarNumberLineSpanner`, or `SostenutoPedal` vs. `SostenutoP
