The text used for crescendos and decrescendos can be changed by
modifying the context properties @code{crescendoText} and
@code{decrescendoText}.

The style of the spanner line can be changed by modifying the
@code{'style} property of @code{DynamicTextSpanner}.  The default value
is @code{'dashed-line}, and other possible values include @code{'line},
@code{'dotted-line} and @code{'none}.
