Hello,
as a followup to the ly-user thread on ottavation bracket/fermata
stacking I noticed the following problem:
By default, OttavaBracket has a minimum-length of 1 and the text is
right-aligned to the first note in the range of the ottavation. Thus,
it's sometimes impossible to discern from which note on the ottava is
supposed to be applied. In short-ottava.ly (see attachment) the ottava
applies to both notes, in short-ottava-2.ly only to the second note. Yet
the output is identical.
I think it's difficult for LilyPond to "do the right thing" when using 8va
as the ottavation mark, and only ottavating one note. Gould almost
exclusively uses 8 as the mark, and with sufficient space LilyPond follows
her recommendation: see my recent comment on 3690.
A more extensive set of tests is below, and gives the attached image.
\version "2.18"
{
\ottava #1 e'''4 f'''
\ottava #0 e'' e'' R1
e''4 \ottava #1 f'''4
\ottava #0 e'' e'' R1
\ottava #1
\set Staff.ottavation = #"8"
e'''4 f'''
\ottava #0 e'' e'' R1
e''4 \ottava #1
\set Staff.ottavation = #"8"
f'''4
\ottava #0 e'' e''
e''4 \ottava #1
\set Staff.ottavation = #"8"
f'''4 e'' '
\ottava #0 e''
}
