Hello, Slight adaptation of Valentin's answer here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2021-11/msg00583.html #(define (my-callback grob) (let* ((orig (ly:grob-original grob)) (siblings (ly:spanner-broken-into orig))) (if (not (eq? grob (car siblings))) (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text "(8)")))) \score { \new Staff { \override Staff.OttavaBracket.after-line-breaking = #my-callback \ottava #1 c''' 4 d''' e'''' f'''' \break d''' f'''' g'''' a'''' \break d''' f''' g''' a''' } } Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com>
