It half works! Fine for the dashed line but the text is not printed...
Here is an example:

\version "2.12.0"
stringendo = { \textSpannerUp \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details
left text) = "Stringendo" }
\new Score \with { \consists "Text_spanner_engraver" } <<
       \new Staff { \new Voice \with { \remove "Text_spanner_engraver"
} { \stringendo c'1 \startTextSpan \repeat unfold 4 { c' }
c'\stopTextSpan } }
       \new Staff { \new Voice \with { \remove "Text_spanner_engraver"
} { \stringendo c'1 \startTextSpan \repeat unfold 4 { c' }
c'\stopTextSpan } }
