Hello,
I’d like to have an OttavaBracket with ottavation "8", but after a line
break, the ottavation should read "(8)". I cannot figure out whether
this can be achieved with \alterBroken, since ottavation is not a
feature of OttavaBracket. I read in the internals that the
Ottava_spanner_engraver creates a text spanner, but TextSpanner is not
the right grob for \alterBroken either.
I worked around my problem by adding
\ottava #1
\set Staff.ottavation = #"(8)"
where the line breaks. But maybe there is a universal solution for the
whole score.
Regards,
Immanuel
