Hello Mike,

I thought changing the avoid-slur property of marcato and staccatissimo scripts from inside (default) to around (value for accent) would give the behavior you want.
But this does not work, the output is totally different and I have many programmation errors: script direction not yet known.
The problem also exhibits with accent, whereas I just copied the default (unmodified) settings!
A bug?

#(define my-script-alist
   (append '(
              ("accent"
                (avoid-slur . around)
                (padding . 0.20)
                (script-stencil . (feta . ("sforzato" . "sforzato")))
                (side-relative-direction . ,DOWN))
              ("marcato"
                (script-stencil . (feta . ("dmarcato" . "umarcato")))
                (padding . 0.20)
                (avoid-slur . around)
                ;;(staff-padding . ())
                (quantize-position . #t)
                (side-relative-direction . ,DOWN))
              ("staccatissimo"
                (avoid-slur . around)
                (quantize-position . #t)
                (script-stencil . (feta . ("dstaccatissimo" . "ustaccatissimo")))
                (padding . 0.20)
                (skyline-horizontal-padding . 0.10)
                (side-relative-direction . ,DOWN)
                (toward-stem-shift . 1.0)
                (toward-stem-shift-in-column . 0.0))
              ) default-script-alist)
   )

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    scriptDefinitions = #my-script-alist
  }
}

\relative c' {
  d'4-^( e4 f4-.) r4
  d4->( e4 f4-.) r4
  d4-.( e4 f4-.) r4
  d4--( e4 f4-.) r4
  d4-!( e4 f4-.) r4
}

Cheers,
Xavier
