• Create two curves, then use path-inbetweener to generate 40 intermediate paths ("Swing" stretch)
  
• Using WIP ofn-text-along-path, add "ACCORDION" in "filled" layout on each
  
• Generate a layer for each using stroke-or-fill-visible-layers
  
• Generate the "back" move with mirror-layers

Testing some fixed and new capabilities.

Too big to use a GF attachment (about 1M). Fairly compute-intensive, nearly killed the PC doing that one... Will likely redo it with a more realistic wave travel. That could be a coincidence, but the more bendy the path is, the longer it is, and this just widens the character spacing enough to avoid overlaps.

Better version:

Updated the script on SourceForge:

• Remove "box-margins" on first/last characters
  
• Run on multiple strokes
  
• Add more path generation options
  

Yet another update:

• Fix bug on width in "Repeated" layout on closed strokes (visible here)
  
• Include spacer in the name of produced paths
  

Yet another update to fix a bug introduced by the previous update. Do I feel a moose coming?(*)

(*) a virtual coconut to those who recognize what this alludes to.

Uploaded new version with the "multi" option:


Enjoy.

So to produce these rotated multi texts, one has to make a "star" path ?
How do you make, for example, a 12 sided star path ?

ofn-path-to-shape has all required functionality for this (called "spokes", in both "strokes" and "segments" functions).
