Description
Your idea
With 4.1 it became possible to change the horizontal alignment of articulations places on the stem side of notes. It would be great to be able to change this property for individual articulation objects as well.
Problem to be solved
Currently, all types of articulation are given the same position, which while great for most cases isn't always desired.
Using horizontal offset is a messy solution with some undesired consequences.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing horizontal alignment behavior for articulations placed on the stem side of notes, as described in the issue. Determine how alignment is currently shared across articulation types and define what per-object alignment should control; done means individual articulations can be aligned without relying on horizontal offsets or causing their side effects.
