Hi Andrew,

1. I haven't investigated, but \breathe must (e.g.) be attached to a <> or
something, so that it has "its own moment".
2. Whenever I find an override that doesn't work, I try repositioning — 95% of
the time, that fixes the problem.

One can… if one positions it correctly. ;)
\version "2.21.2"
{
c''4 \breathe c''
c''
\once \override BreathingSign.text = \markup {
\musicglyph "scripts.caesura.straight"
}
\breathe
c''
\breathe
}
Cheers,
Kieren.
