Increasing the padding will only make things worse, since the
difference in vertical alignment only happens when you have note
heads or stems sticking down below the stave, which is exactly the
case when the padding controls the vertical position when staff-padding
is small. For example, if you set staff-padding = 3 and keep the padding
property to the default, then you have note music going down to 'a'
(assuming G clef, i.e. 2 ledger lines below the staff) without affecting
the vertical position of a dynamic.
