fermata (and other symbols?) position over up-stem notes

Hi,
I apologize if this has discussed before, I took a quick look at the list 
archive and didn't find it:
one thing I noticed for a while is that a fermata (and maybe other symbols, 
too) on an up-stem note does not look exactly centered, as it does on a 
down-stem note. You can see it also in one of your benchmarking examples [1]: 
the Edition Peters version moves the fermata slightly to the right, which 
moves the center point nearer to the stem; this results in a more balanced 
look, while lilypond's fermata probably is correctly centered but looks as if 
it was too far to the left.
