Hello all, This is another perplexing thing. I am trying to figure out how to shift the ottava indications directly over their corresponding chords. There does not seem to be an obvious solution. So here is the miminmal example. The end result should have 8va loco. 8va. loco. read in a single line.
regards Shane version "2.13.0" \relative{ \once \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'dash-period = #0 \ottava #1 \barNumberCheck #190 \autoBeamOff <c' f c'>8 \ottava #0 <c, f c'>8 ^"loco." \once \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'dash-period = #0 \ottava #1 <c' f c'>8 \ottava #0 <c, f c'>8 ^"loco." } I made a viable solution, but it does not resolve the issue of the 8va not being centered over the note of origin. \version "2.13.0" \relative{ \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'dash-period = #1 \ottava #1 | \barNumberCheck #190 \autoBeamOff \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 25) <c' f c'>8 \ottava #0 \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(-2.5 . -2.1) <c, f c'>8 ^"loco." \ottava #1 <c' f c'>8 \ottava #0 <c, f c'>8 ^"loco." \ottava #1 } p.s. misspelling shift is occasionally dangerous _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
