Spanner trouble

[David Bobroff]

I've been trying to add a couple spanners (text or crescendo type) to a 
score.  I was having trouble getting the output I wanted and I noticed 
that Lily did not appear to be behaving as advertised.

For example; in "1.8.1.3 Text spanners" if I cut & paste the examples 
given on the page and run them through 2.11.41 (Windows) I do *not* get 
a dashed line but a solid line that ends one note early.

Also, similarly; in section "1.3.1.2 Dynamics" if I cut/paste the last 
example on the page I do *not* get a series of dots connecting the 
"cresc. poco" to the "mf".  Instead I get a short solid line immediately 
following "cresc. poco" and then space to the "mf".
