I find that X-offset affects both ends - in other words, it shifts the
whole hairpin to the right of its default position by #X-offset staff
spaces.

As you say, bound-padding only apparently affects the right-hand end of
a hairpin.  I'm not sure what the units are here: they seem to be about
1/4 of a staff space.
