There was a discussion about the layout of these when the symbol was introduced some year ago. If you can provide some references to well typeset scores and preferably some scanned images of what it should look like, I'm sure that the LilyPond implementors will be willing to change the layout or add another version. (Unmotivated statements like "it should" don't have the same effect on Han-Wen and Jan.)
Thanks. I do actually have some examples from a printed part for a musical show which I could scan but fortunately I found some examples on the Internet which are just as good. The first two occur in actual music. The concept is so simple that these should be more than adequate.
