Yes, it's definitely an abuse of 'padding, as was my original approach of applying the global shift using a 'padding callback. How about a slightly different approach whereby the correction is applied inside System_start_text::get_stencil (), but can be switched off if a user wants to revert to the existing behaviour using side-support-elements? This would allow the correct use of padding for individual instrument names and would get rid of the simple closure for X-offset. I was hoping to be able to make use of the option in Side_position_interface::general_side_position () to ignore support extents when a user wants the global instrument name shift (instead of removing the instrument name acknowledger from System_start_delimiter_engraver), but it doesn't seem to work as I expected: though braces and squares are ignored completely, bars and brackets still count.
