TextSpanner in Score context?

[Dominic]

Hi everyone,

Is there any way that I can make a "rall........a tempo" that is firmly in
the Score context, using MetronomeMarks and TextSpanners? I want the
"rall........a tempo" to appear on the top of the score, not on every single
staff. But I also want to retain the ability to use TextSpanners as normal,
within individual staffs. Is this a possibility? Or, if not, what is the
most elegant alternative way of doing it? I realise that the question of
"Tempo spanners" has been raised before, but no solution was suggested, to
my knowledge.

I even tried the ludicrous idea of making a fake spanner by having something
like this:
/\repeat unfold 16 { \tempo "." s16 }/
but that wasn't great because the dots didn't act as a single line (some of
them were pushed out of the way by high notes)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Dominic
