I propose #'padding = #1 as the default value for PianoStaff.

Are there other default values in the new spacing engine that need to
be selected, perhaps by referencing good published scores? Overall,
I'm very impressed with the new layout algorithms, and I'd be happy to
pitch in a bit of score measuring if it will help to get the constants
right.
