Well, I investigated as well. I think that the only way to solve this is to use the combination
Y-offset + \offset + 2.19 As you can see, this seems to work in 2.19 http://lilybin.com/yb5u35/12 And it doesn't work in 2.18. Correct me if I'm wrong: this is currently the *only* proper way to shift OttavaBracket if you want to avoid using extra-offset. The other methods appear to me almost unusable.
