A couple quick responses.

1) Get the LedgerLineSpanner to produce vertical skylines and that solves half 
of the problems.
2) Create an override for DynamicText (or whatever cresc. is) vertical-skylines 
that takes the skyline produced and adds padding to it.  That'll avoid stemular 
interpenetration.
3) Add Ties to Script side-support elements.

And there you have it.  I'll propose patches.
