Editing Changing text and spanner styles for text dynamics

The text used for ''crescendos'' and ''decrescendos'' can be changed by modifying the context properties <code>crescendoText</code> and <code>decrescendoText</code>.

The style of the spanner line can be changed by modifying the <code>'style</code> property of <code>DynamicTextSpanner</code>. The default value is <code>'dashed-line</code>, and other possible values include <code>'line</code>, <code>'dotted-line</code> and <code>'none</code>.

<lilypond version="2.24.0">

  \set crescendoSpanner = #'text
  \override DynamicTextSpanner.style = #'dotted-line
