Moving just text, leaving articulations in place?

[Robert Hickman]

Tried using "\override TextScript.staff-padding" to move the text
annotations in the attached image up but it also moves the Larson
articulation symbols up as well. I want these to stay in the same
place and the text to move up a bit away from them. Is lilypond
treating the articulation symbols as text?

Complete below, my code is at the bottom:

\version "2.18.2"

% HOW TO USE

  % 1. Put this file in the same folder as the .ly file you are
working on, or, even better, somewhere in your Lilypond include path.
  % 2. Add the following line near the top of your .ly file, under the
"version" line (do not include the percent sign):
  %  \include "larsen-symbols.ily"
  % 3. Add symbols to notes using this syntax (no percent sign):
  %  c\crann
  % The following symbols are available:
  %    cut
  %    strike
  %    slideUp
  %    slideDown
  %    longRoll
  %    shortRoll
  %    longDoubleCutRoll
  %    shortDoubleCutRoll
  %    crann
  %    shortCrann
  %    trill
  %    singleTrill
  %    shake
  %    breathe
  % ("trill" and "breathe" are already built into Lilypond, but are
listed here because they form part of Mr. Larsen's system of symbols.)

% OPTIONS -- ADJUST AS DESIRED

  larsenSymbolsScale = #1.5
    % Adjust this to scale all symbols up or down (default #1.5).
Known issue: adjusting this affects the spacing of the components of
the long and short double-cut roll symbols.

  larsenSymbolsOutlineWidth = #.065
    % Adjust this to change outline thicknesses for all symbols.

% DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW HERE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING


% SOME VARIABLES
  larsenSymbolsHalignFactor = #(+ (* larsenSymbolsScale ( / 2 3 ) )
.15 ) % this is an arbitrary number discovered by trial and error; it
helps keep the symbols roughly aligned with noteheads if the symbols
are resized using \larsenSymbolsScale
  larsenSymbolsHalfSize = #(* .5 larsenSymbolsScale)
  larsenSymbolsFlipVertical = #(* -1 larsenSymbolsScale)
