I don't think that would fix my problem, but that would avoid another 
problem.  :)

I don't want a relative direction at all; IMO \espressivo should be 
hard-coded to be below the staff.

I ran into another problem -- how do I tweak properties of specific 
articulation marks?


\relative c'' {
%% doesn't work; what do I want here?
\override Script #'espressivo #'direction = #-1

%%  current definition of \espressivo
%{
  ("espressivo" .
    ((avoid-slur . around)
     (quantize-position . #t)
     (script-stencil . (feta . ("espr" .  "espr")))
     (side-relative-direction . -1)))
%}
  c2 d e1\espressivo
}
