Text Spanner misbehaving?

[Diosnel Herrnsdorf]

Howdy!

 

I'm working on a piece that calls for a custom text span (v2.12.1). After setting up the following (I'm copying from the online manual):

\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = #"slargandosi poco a poco"
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right text) = #" "

and applying the \startTextSpan and \stopTextSpan where I want them in the score, I get what you see in the attached graph. Is the "left text" not manageable?

 

Regards,
