I simply wanted to understand how to offset a bracket.
And the conclusion is: avoid \offset + X/Y-offset and use

1) extra-offset (if you don't need automatic collision-avoidance)

OR

2) \override X/Y-offset with a ruler (if you need automatic
collision-avoidance)

OR

3) make outside-staff-padding 0.46 more than needed vertical shift
   e.g. 2.46
