Comment #1 on issue 2910 by address@hidden: problem  
with 'outside-staff-padding
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2910

At the moment when two objects meet the 'outside-staff-padding for each of  
them is added.  Formerly, only one pad is placed between objects, with  
thickness decided by the object _being_placed_ outside the earlier  
objects.  The former method is used for other padding applications.  It is  
not hard to restore the former behavior.

This forced me to review how the various paddings apply to objects placed  
outside the staff.  The behavior that is documented and mostly depended  
upon by the defaults, is:

 padding  -- minimum distance from the outline of the object to the staff  
(not protruding notes, applied before note-spacing)

 staff-padding  -- minimum distance from the reference point of the object  
to the staff (broken, issue 3026)

 outside-staff-padding -- minimum distance from the outline of the object  
to the outline of everything placed closer to the staff than this object  
(broken, issue 2910)

I think we want the documented behavior, which seems flexible and useful.   
The naming is not perfectly descriptive, but we can adjust that after  
straightening out the behavior.
