During the projects I've done this year, I've used a system where I've pasted code from my other my different plug-in sources into an automate plug-in. That plug-in used a number of control files (in text format) to set the distances in the cases where there needs to be a correction compared to the default positioning (taking stem direction, other artics, slur tips, ledger lines, etc into account). After all positioning comes spacing (including changing certain types of measures to specific widths), then alignment and then I make a approximate calculation of the vertical span of a system, and respace. The whole process goes outwards in the layout in one step (starting with articulation placement, ending with system positioning placement). Although the process is automatic, the thing that doesn't work good enough yet is the pre- and post-spacing, and the system isn't that flexible (I've more or less just added the editing cases I've needed). I'm now moving towards a totally script-based solution instead, which is almost a totally opposite approach, but it's also a much better way to handle complex tasks such as spacing.
