that would be even nicer!

now coming back to the original topic where Phil wanted to make a correction
to the distance of the text after the \circle:

\markup { 
    \override #'(circle-padding . 0.55) 
    \fontsize #-2.5 { "tune " \circle 3 \hspace #-2 "to f #" } 
}

he had to do this because overriding the circle-padding also increases the
distance of the following object:

\markup  \center-column { 
  \override #'(circle-padding . 0) \box  \concat { "xxx" \box \circle 3
"xxx" } 
  \override #'(circle-padding . 12) \box  \concat { "xxx" \box \circle 3
"xxx" } 
}

is this intended? and why?
