Customize which elements are allowed to be placed within the staff when autoplace is enabled
Some articulation markings (staccatos, tenutos, etc) will be placed inside the staff to be closer to the notehead. Other markings, mainly accents, will not be auto-placed inside the staff and must all be dragged inside manually. Some kind of setting to enable accents and other markings to be auto-placed in a similar way to staccatos would be nice.

Would indeed be nice. An intelligent solution woudl have to interpret a lot of context.

Gould - Behind Bars p 120 - writes "Accents ... are usually best placed outside the stave, where they are most conspicuous. They can move onto the stave when they would otherwise be a long way from the note. The accent is clearest when centered in a space. As it tends to obscure a pitch when placed in the stave a series of accents is best placed outside the stave."
In MU 4.1 this setting doen't seem to have an effect;
When stacato and accent are attached separately the accent - manually centered - touches the stafflines slightly. It would need redesign with a smaller angle.
