I see, thanks!
I thought since there are separate glyphs for the most common articulations that stays the same in both directions, like regular staccato, That this was supposed to be consistent throughout.
Since your open to a change in registration regarding the individual notes section, I will take the liberty to argue that glyphs which are identical regardless of placement on the note, perhaps should be centred on the baseline so as to simplify any settings in the scoring application (i.e. the values will then be the same for both directions. I can understand that it’s done in a different way to streamline the distances of all such glyphs from the note or stem, but since the shape of the characters vary, so will likely the ideal distances.
Anyway, it’s probably not a good idea to do any extensive changes to the registrations at this point, and as long as the apps allows separate settings for each direction, it’s not a big problem.
Thanks again!

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.
