Indeed.  But I think that if you’re looking for something simple, that
remains the easiest way by far:

%%%%

\version "2.20.0"

insertTextSpan =
#(define-music-function (txt) (markup?)
   (make-music 'CrescendoEvent
               ; 'tweaks (list (cons 'font-shape 'upright))
               'span-direction START
               'span-type 'text
               'span-text txt))

{
  b1\insertTextSpan "poco"
  b
  b\insertTextSpan "a"
  b
  b\insertTextSpan \markup \bold "poco"
  b
  b\!
}

%%%%

Cheers,
