Let's suppose you cast Calm Emotions to suppress the frightened condition. Duration is one minute. No problem. Frightened is suppressed.
Then another enemy arrives a couple rounds later and imposes a different frighten condition.
Does the previously cast Calm Emotions spell automatically suppress the frightened condition from this new source since it's still within the one minute duration?
My reading is that Calm Emotions only suppresses the conditions that were occurring when the spell was cast. I see nothing in the spell to indicate that it would continue to work on new sources of the condition after it was cast.
Agree with DxJxC - it says you can suppress any effect causing frightened or charmed. I feel that it only doesn't say "you suppress all [...]" because it gives you the choice not to do so (with the "you can suppress").

What do you think?
I don't see why calm emotions wouldn't apply to every source of fear for its duration.
