Why can you not just use a TextSpanner?
Kieren,
thanks for hint to TextSpanner. I suspect ottava brackets to use
TextSpanner. ;-)
I read the manual and searched at LSR. The sample in LSR looks
promisingly. But I don't get the expected results:
1) The text is missing.
2) The falling edge at the end is missing.
What's wrong? (Complete example and result attached)
Regards,
Helge
