I always first try a property setting without the \once keyword to see
that it works.
If you do that in your example below, you will notice that your property
setting
indeed works as it should. The only problem is that a setting done with
\once ...
only applies to the next object, so if you insert it before the note
before the breating
sign, it only applies to the note, where it of course doesn't have any
effect.
Just move your \once \override to be directly before the \breathe and it
should
work well.
I understand perfectly well why you placed your \once \override where
you did,
since that's the correct solution when you want to move an articulation,
a text script,
a slur or a dynamic indication, for example. The reason is that all
these are connected
to a specific note and happen "simultaneously" with the note, whereas
the breathe sign
is handled as a separate object, just like clefs or time signatures or
..., that happen
"between" the notes.
Tricky indeed!

Greetings -
Just when I think I get the hang of it, bam.
I'm running LilyPond 2.10.16 under Windows XP Pro SP2.
Thanks to Mats Bengtsson and Bertalan Fodor for their help with two
notehead sizes in one chord.
Now, in the same measure, actually, I'm trying to move a breathe sign,
and having no luck. Here's a snippet:
++++++++++ Begin Snippet +++++++++
\version "2.10.16"
\paper {
ragged-right = ##t
}
Breathe = {
\key d \minor
\clef alto
\time 2/2
c'4 c' c' c' |
\once \override BreathingSign #'extra-offset = #'(0.0 . 5.0)
b8[\breathe b] < c' c >( d e fis gis e) |
}
\score {
\Breathe
}
+++++++++++ End Snippet ++++++++
I've tried BreathingSign, Score.BreathingSign, Voice.BreathingSign, and
Staff.BreathingSign with #'extra-offset and #'padding in each possible
combination, and none of them makes any visible effect. I've also tried
using \override without \once, to no effect. I've also tried using
\tweak with#'extra-offset and with #'padding immediately before
\breathe, also with no effect.
Any suggestions for what to try next?
I'm grateful to everyone from the LilyPond community for all their help
and support and for the excellent product. I used to really like .abc,
and recently looked at some of my output, and realized that, although
.abc's simplicity is a big pro, LilyPond's output and flexibility are
wonderful. Thanks again.
Cheers,
Ralph
