The \ictus has incorrect horizontal spacing, it should be centered under (or over, in some cases) the neume. It is too far to the left.
Regards, Tim.

\version "2.10.19"
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }

\include "gregorian-init.ly"
\score {
  <<
    \context VaticanaVoice = "cantus" {
      \override Script #'padding = #-0.1
      \clef "vaticana-do3"

      \[ f\melisma f \pes g\melismaEnd \]
      f
      \[ f\ictus \]
      \[ f \pes g\ictus \pes a

      \[ s8 \]

    } %//end of cantus

    \lyricsto "cantus" \new Lyrics {
      Re- qui- em %aet\'{e}r- nam
    } %// end of lyrics
  >>
} %//end of score

It should be \include "gregorian.ly" nowadays.

Owner changed because otherwise unable to comment: "Issue owner must be a project member"

"owner" now means "the person fixing the issue".  I'm not touching ancient stuff.

Incidentally, in many cases it should be placed inside the staff lines, the current placement makes it really hard to see which note it might be belonging to.

To ease testing, here is an updated code for current development version.

\version "2.15.29"
\include "gregorian.ly"
\score {
  <<
    \new VaticanaVoice = "cantus" {
      \override Script #'padding = #0
      \clef "vaticana-do3"

      \[ f\melisma f \pes g\melismaEnd \]
      f
      \[ f \ictus \]
      \[ f \pes g\ictus \pes a \]
    }

    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "cantus" {
      Re -- qui -- em ae-
    }
  >>
}

Using example in comment #5 above I get the following output with 2.19.8

Should anyone wonder what an ictus should actually look like, this currently shows good examples:

I've also attached an example from the Liber Usualis

FWIW, this turns out not to be an issue with the ictus itself, but when it is drawn inside a ligature. The example given does not need a ligature (as I understand it), since ligatures represent combinations of multiple notes, which \[ f \ictus \] is not. Please see code below and image.  Note: I'm not saying this is not a bug, but rather it concerns how ligatures affect the drawing of the ictus.

\version "2.15.29"
\include "gregorian.ly"
\score {
  <<
    \new VaticanaVoice = "cantus" {
      \override Script #'padding = #0
      \clef "vaticana-do3"
      f \ictus
      \[ f \ictus \]
    }
  >>
}

I'm changing the title of this issue, because the problem is that scripts are not centred when there is a ligature present.  The adding staccato marks to the code snippet above gives the image below, which has the same problem.
