I don't know if anything better exists, but I'm sure this could be automated to some degree. The spanner is aware of the note columns it passes over, and this information could be used to calculate the Y subproperty of the spanner's left and right bounds. I couldn't say if you'd still need to tweak the results with the rotation property, however!
