Greetings -

And thanks again for the wonderful program!

I have a couple of problems with a section of music.

1) I need to create two text spanners on one staff, one spanner for the first volta, the other for the second volta. I can do it for the staff with two voices, but I'm stuck with the staff with one voice. I'm attaching .pngs of the original and what I have so far. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? Do I need to create a temporary invisible voice to do it? If so, how do I deal with the lower staff, where I already have an upper and lower voice? A third, invisible, voice 4? Is there an easier way? 

2) I cannot figure out the command to lower the fortissimos to the levels of the text spanners. Any help?

I can merge the rests, but I didn't want to complicate the file more than I needed to.

I'm attaching the original - twoTextSpannersOrig.png - and my solution so far - twoTextSpanners.png. 

Here's my code (I apologize for the large file; I wanted to reproduce the original for comparison):

I appreciate your time and attention,
