I see two different tasks to do here

(1)
fix the unwanted capo, a defect
I entered
https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/4644/

(2)
support printing text in the dots entered with `(open 4)'
an enhancement

Currently I test a patch in a local branch to fix (1)
(2) may be more work ...

Cheers,
