I goofed in my code. It doesn't make any allowance for articulations that
change direction depending on whether they're above or below the staff
(fermata, for example). So a bit of a change is in order:

 \version "2.24.0"
\language "english"

music = { g8 g g g }
upArticulation = { g8 g-\upbow g-\fermata g }
downArticulation = { g8 g-\upbow g-\fermata g }

<<
\new Dynamics \with {
  \override Script.direction = #UP }
{ \upArticulation }
\new Staff
\music
\new Dynamics \with {
  \override Script.direction = #DOWN }
{ \downArticulation }
>>

An alternative would be to explicitly declare the direction by changing:

upArticulation = { g8 g-\upbow g-\fermata g }
downArticulation = { g8 g-\upbow g-\fermata g }

to:

upArticulation = { g8 g^\upbow g^\fermata g }
downArticulation = { g8 g_\upbow g_\fermata g }
