You don't have to consider the default 0.46 value. outside-staff-padding's behavior is similar to Y-offset's one (I'm talking about \override, NOT \offset command). It only differs for the reference point. Third line in Y-offset, first line in outside-staff-padding. So, you can use it only with a ruler starting from the ref point. Even if uncomfortable, it makes sense. HTH Paolo
