New issue 1679 by address@hidden: textspan can end prematurely when  
entering an empty bar
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1679

In lilypond 2.13.63, if \startTextSpan is in a non-empty bar and  
\stopTextSpan is in an empty bar, the end of the text span is shifted to  
the last non-empty bar.

In the attached lilypond source code and generated PDF all the text spans  
should be 6 bars long, and in the cases of all non-empty bars, empty  
followed by non-empty bars, all empty bars, and non-empty/empty/non-empty  
this works; but in the case of non-empty bars followed by empty bars the  
text span is shorter than it ought to be.
