Yup. I would think so :)

Thank you for isolating the cause of the error like this.  I was able
to find the problem: I wasn't reliably locating the PaperColumn
associated with the left bound of the spanner, so I added a procedure
for that,  So now this should work fine with multiple voices.  (See
attached--I've fixed both your complex score and the test file.)
There's still that strangeness with line breaking within the capo
spanner, and if someone following this thread has thoughts concerning
the problems I mentioned earlier, please don't hesitate.

Congratulations!  I think you'll like it--there are a lot of
improvements there over 2.14.

Anyway, hopefully this will do the trick.
