FWIW, "stem distance" is not actually accurate. "Staff distance" was more correct. The setting in question controls the distance from articulations to the *staff*, not to any note stem. It only comes in to play in certain cases, certain combinations of multiple articulations on the same side of a note. But it's definitely a value relative to the staff, not to the stem. We could consider a different wording change if we're worried about the overlap with the other setting of a similar name.
