I refactored Kieren's function a bit (to make it work, but also maybe to 
make it easier to read):

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
#(define ((custom-script-tweaks ls) grob)
   (let*
    ((grob-cause (ly:grob-property grob 'cause))
     (type (ly:prob-property grob-cause 'articulation-type))
     (tweaks (assoc-ref ls type)))
    (if tweaks
        (for-each
         (lambda (x)
           (ly:grob-set-property!
            grob (car x) (cdr x)))
         tweaks))))

#(define my-scripts
   `(
      ("staccato" . ((font-size . -5)))
      ("fermata" . ((padding . 5)))
      ("accent" . ((color . ,red)))
      ))

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override Script.before-line-breaking = #(custom-script-tweaks 
my-scripts)
  }
}

\score
{
  {
    c'4-. c2\fermata c4 \accent
  }
}
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

All the requirements you describe sound absolutely possible with 
LilyPond. Feel free to ask on-list. :-)
