The \startTextSpan and \stopTextSpan commands allow the creation of text spanners as easily as pedal indications or octavations. Override some properties of the TextSpanner object to modify its output.
\version "2.24"
\paper { ragged-right = ##f }
\relative c'' {
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = #"bla"
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = #"blu"
a4 \startTextSpan
b4 c
a4 \stopTextSpan
\override TextSpanner.style = #'line
\once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.stencil-align-dir-y = #CENTER
a4 \startTextSpan
b4 c
a4 \stopTextSpan
\override TextSpanner.style = #'dashed-line
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text =
\markup { \draw-line #'(0 . 1) }
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text =
\markup { \draw-line #'(0 . -2) }
\once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.padding = #-2
a4 \startTextSpan
b4 c
a4 \stopTextSpan
\set Staff.middleCPosition = #-13
\override TextSpanner.dash-period = #10
\override TextSpanner.dash-fraction = #0.5
\override TextSpanner.thickness = #10
a4 \startTextSpan
b4 c
a4 \stopTextSpan
}
