You are changing behavior rather deep in the details.
You can search for stencil-offset in the setup files to see an example
of its use.  In define-grobs it is used for a dyanmics spanner. It is
a pair of numbers, probably X and Y:

\relative c'{
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.stencil-offset = #'(0 . -0.5)
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.stencil-offset = #'(0 . -0.5)
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = #"ggg"
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = #"hhh"
c4^\startTextSpan c c c \stopTextSpan }
