It's probably not as consistent as that everywhere within the
specification. The general approach is to have separate glyphs for
above/below (or notehead/stem side) if the shape of the symbol varies (as
e.g. the tenuto-staccato articulation does, or the marcato articulation
does), but otherwise to only have a single glyph, and to leave the
positioning of said glyph relative to the note to be determined by the
consuming application.
