The default is not a fixed value but a procedure that computes the value 
depending on other grobs 
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/textscript). This 
means that you cannot know the exact value. But you can use the \offset 
command to change a value relatively to its (possibly unknown) default 
value 
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/the-offset-command).
