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!
