visualize-padding (was: \offset Y-offset)

[Paolo Prete]

To Aaron (and any other helpful contributor):

As you can see in the below snippet, the visualize-padding function you so kindly provided, doesn't work in some cases with TupletBracket. Here is a snippet where the bug occurs.

The problem is associated with:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-01/msg00467.html

Sorry if I insist again with this: is there a fix (or work-around) for it?

The function is ***very*** useful, You can really see what happens with the discussed property, and you can really use therefore a ruler for fine tuning .

Thanks for you help and your patience!
