Try putting the \spanrequests inside the square brackets,
immediately after the note you want it attached to:

[ b'! \spanrequest \start "text"   b,!]  [bes'! bes,! \spanrequest \stop 
"text" ]  
or
[bes'! bes,! \spanrequest \start "text" ] [b'! b,!] [bes'! bes,! 
\spanrequest \stop "text" ]

Or alternatively use \commandspanrequest instead of \spanrequest, but I'm
not sure how the internals work here.
