Re: Script and staff-pading question

[Mats Bengtsson]

As you can notice at the chart of all available scripts in the section 
on "Articulation",
some articulations stay close to the note head, whereas others always 
are typeset
above/below the stave. The staff-padding property is only in effect for the
articulations that always are typeset outside the stave, such as 
staccatissimo,
stopped, turn and lost of others. Once you think of it, this design 
choice in
LilyPond makes sense.

The obvious follow-up question is how LilyPond determines which 
articulations
should follow the note head into the stave and which should stay outside.
The answer can be found in the initalization file scm/script.scm, where
the articulations that should follow the note head have the property
quantize-position set.
