If that's the case, then the only solution I can see is the rather ugly hack of 
waiting until the score is complete so I can see where the line breaks fall, 
and then taking any spanner that has this problem and putting \stopTextSpan on 
the note after the note where it should actually end with manual tweaking of 
the RH padding so that it appears to end on the desired note.
