Hm,
after sending this request for help I (hopefully) found a solution
myself. But I don't pretend to understand it ...

Well, as said I seem to have achieved my goal, but I would be happy to
understand it better. As said tweaking 'staff-padding to a callback
function makes the spacing behave like with \textLengthOn (i.e.
extra-spacing-width and -height set). If on the other hand I tweak
before-line-breaking to a callback, and within that callback set the
staff-padding property of the grob to the calculated value there doesn't
seem to be such a side effect.
#(define (apply-staff-padding grob)
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'staff-padding (calc-staff-padding grob)))
...
-\tweak before-line-breaking #apply-staff-padding
-\markup #text
Any clarification?
Thanks

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was struggling with this earlier, but suggestions from the
list didn't help me and I had to postpone the issue. Now I've
got to resolve it and while I make progress I don't seem to be
able to get to the goal line :-(</p>
<p>I am trying to create a text command that prints items at a
specific distance from the staff (in order to have multiple
items on the same baseline). The behaviour of staff-padding is
good enough for me, that is if one of the items is forced to be
farther away to prevent collisions with the music I'm OK with
adjusting the staff-padding for *all* items.</p>
<p>My problem is that the created markup should push other items
to the right rather have them stack vertically as is the
standard behaviour of TextScript - but only if there actually
*is* such an item. Using \textLengthOn always pushes the next
note column to the right, even when that doesn't have a text
attached.</p>
...<br>
<br>
<p>However, I don't actually use a literal value for staff-padding
but a callback function that modifies the staff-padding
according to the direction. And as soon as staff-padding is set
to that (any) callback function the behaviour is again like
using \textLengthOn, as can be seen in the attached 'wrong.png'
where the second note is wrongly pushed to the right:<br>
</p>
<pre>...
#(define (create-foo text)
#{
-\tweak extra-spacing-width #(cons -0.0 .8)
-\tweak outside-staff-priority ##f
-\tweak staff-padding #calc-staff-padding
-\markup #text
#})
...
</pre>
<p>Can anyone explain why the TextScript is behaving differently
when staff-padding is tweaked to a literal or to a callback? And
- more importantly - how I can achieve my goal?</p>
