Hi Carl, you are right with the default-stencil for OttavaBracket. But in this thread ly:line-spanner::print was used to get more tweaking-possibilities. For this stencil I could verify the issue. Below some test-code using box-stencil to make dimensions visible. All for 2.19.81 (1) All fine for the default, i.e. ly:ottava-bracket::print $@(map (lambda (val) #{ \new Staff \with { \override OttavaBracket.stencil = #(lambda (grob) (box-stencil (ly:ottava-bracket::print grob) 0 0)) } { \ottava #1 c''4 \override NoteColumn.X-offset = $val d'' } #}) (iota 10 0 2)) (2) Using ly:line-spanner::print and dotted-style returns sometimes a gap at line-end. with-ottava-line-spanner = \with { \override OttavaBracket.stencil = #(lambda (grob) (box-stencil (ly:line-spanner::print grob) 0 0)) \override OttavaBracket.bound-details = #`((left . ((Y . 0) (attach-dir . ,LEFT) (padding . 0) (stencil-align-dir-y . ,UP))) (right . ((Y . 0) (padding . 0) (attach-dir . ,RIGHT)))) \override OttavaBracket.style = #'dotted-line \override OttavaBracket.thickness = #4 \override OttavaBracket.left-bound-info = #ly:line-spanner::calc-left-bound-info-and-text \override OttavaBracket.right-bound-info = #ly:line-spanner::calc-right-bound-info } $@(map (lambda (val) #{ \new Staff \with \with-ottava-line-spanner { \ottava #1 c''4 \override NoteColumn.X-offset = $val d'' } #}) (iota 10 0 2)) Would be nice the default would offer more tweaking-possibilities to avoid such messing around. Also, ly:line-spanner::print should have at least the option to cover the whole specified length, _avoiding_ space at start/end.
