toward-stem-shift-in-column would be unambiguous.  Long, perhaps, but
its 27 characters are exceeded by several properties, like
"beamlet-max-length-proportion" and "outside-staff-placement-directive".

I do think that another numeric property is necessary.  After all, this
new property boils down to an alternate value of 'toward-stem-shift
(which is one of the principal motivations for including it in a number
pair).  As to potential problems with other sorts of noteheads, I'd have
to check, but that would mean that 'toward-stem-shift itself is flawed.
From the X-offset callback for Script in scm/output-lib, it appears that
the interpretation of this property is sound.
