"Wrong placement"?  Seriously?  Can you give any articulation where
you'd get bad behavior for considering just its bounding box?

Most are rather compact anyway, and I don't see how we get an
advantage from being able to sink the dot of a tenuto into a bow
marking.

For inter-script spacing, skylines seem like the entirely wrong thing
to use.  It is conceivable that you can avoid shifting some unrelated
accidental more than a minimum, but that's a harmless problem compared
to scripts creeping into one another.

In general, skylines are mostly nice for grouping _unrelated_
material.  For several things of the _same_ kind, you usually don't
want to shift them into one another.
