Remember in the old days when you had to have some that always appeared above, some that always appeared below, and some that positioned normally, until Auto came along? Well, you still need a separate set with new positionings!
I still have two definitions for almost every articulation. The problem with Auto is that you can't make separate handle positioning adjustments for each case. Even if you use a flipped symbol, you only have two H-V position pairs and you need four (noteside above, noteside below, stemside above, stemside below).
With many articulations you can get it close enough that it's passable for each position, but if you want to specify an exact position for each case, you need two definitions.
I don't think I have any articulation definition defined for auto. I can't imagine a case where I don't already know whether I want it above or below. I guess maybe if you entered something and then transposed it later or move it to a different clef, but that's not something I'd normally do. (And even if I did, I'd expect to have to tidy it up in other respects anyway.)
