Re: tuplet-nest

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you want to move objects vertically, it's often much better to
set the padding property than to start fiddling with extra-offset,
since then LilyPond will (at least in some occassions) realize that
you have moved the object and adjust some other objects accordingly.
