Here's a preliminary experiment with using \lyricmode as an input device for text spanner details.  It could easily be incorporated into the larger function, but I've pared this down to ask a question.

Is it possible to avoid needing to type \lyricmode when calling \test?

David K. will be able to answer this, but I may say: it’s possible to omit the {} around \lyricmode {} which already makes it nicer, and then typing \lyricmode has its advantages: it’s easier to understand, and easier to highlight syntax correctly.

Definitely softens the blow!  (While we're here--though it doesn't affect the user--I should have omitted the "parser location" from the extractTexts function.  New tricks, old dog.)
