Volta text placed improperly

When the volta text is scaled up, it ends up misplaced.

Well, I'm sure there are cludges, but what appears to me is that the "hook" (I don't know what to call it) that is used to attach the text to the symbol is not calibrated properly.

The top of the text should not appear over the line. The text should lower, not increase at the top.

I hope I am clear.

We could possibly change the default alignment of text in voltas to be "top" instead of "baseline", and then change the offset to something appropriate small. Downside is that then voltas with different texts would no longer align as I think we might expect, if the heights differ. Not sure there is an easy solution here. Hmm, maybe we could allow the vertical offset to be set in font-size units like em, en, x, or X? That could be useful across the board...
