This is rather missing the point - lilypond already does the correct ordering in normal circumstances. The (potential?) bug is that when a cross-staff beam is involved, the ottava sign collides with the fermata. \version "2.18.2" upper = \relative c { \clef treble \key c \major \time 2/4 <>_\markup "correct" c8[ d'' \ottava #1 e' f'\fermata] \ottava #0 <>_\markup "bug" \change Staff = "lower" c,,,,8[ \change Staff = "upper" d'' \ottava #1 e' f'\fermata] \ottava #0 <>_\markup "workaround" \change Staff = "lower" c,,,,8[ \change Staff = "upper" d'' \once \override Staff.OttavaBracket.extra-offset = #'(0 . 2) \ottava #1 e' f'\fermata] \ottava #0 } lower = \relative { \clef bass s2*3 } \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "upper" \upper \new Staff = "lower" \lower >> } -- Mark Knoop _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
