It is somewhat opaque... =)
For future archive readers, the very first property on
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/internals/textspanner> shows that:
1. there is a property #'bound-details
2. there are left and right subproperties
3. the left subproperty has a subsubproperty called attach-dir (defaulted
to -1).
On the page
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/source/Documentation/notation/spanners>,
which deals with spanners in general (including textspanners in particular),
we find:
"A number of further properties of the left and right sub-lists of the
bound-details property may be modified in the same way [...] attach-dir: this
determines where the line starts and ends in the X-direction, relative to the
bound object. So, a value of -1 (or LEFT) makes the line start/end at the left
side of the note head it is attached to."
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
