Not sure… When I tried the OP’s code, it didn’t seem to work, even when I played with the numbers; then I added TextScript and it started to work. It didn’t make sense to me that it was necessary, and running your two code blocks now shows that it’s not. Maybe Mercury’s in retrograde? ;) K __ My work day may look different than your work day.

I don't understand this discussion. Over here,
```
\version "2.24.1"
ttr = #(define-event-function (placement) (pair?)
#{
-\tweak extra-spacing-width #'(1 . 5)
-\tweak extra-offset #placement
-\markup { \fontsize #4 \musicglyph #"scripts.rcomma" }
#} )
\relative c'' {
g8. ^\ttr #'(2.5 . -3.0) a16
}
```
produces the same output as
```
\version "2.24.1"
ttr = #(define-event-function (placement) (pair?)
#{
-\tweak TextScript.extra-spacing-width #'(1 . 5)
-\tweak extra-offset #placement
-\markup { \fontsize #4 \musicglyph #"scripts.rcomma" }
#} )
\relative c'' {
g8. ^\ttr #'(2.5 . -3.0) a16
}
```
What am I missing?

Clearly I needed the extra space property of text. I tried what you did first, and it didn’t work for me either. When a tweak I expect to work doesn’t work right away, I usually try adding an explicit grob name next, just in case that fixes it — and in this case it did!

Re: Needing space after a user-defined ornament
Hi Kieran,
Many thanks indeed - that works a treat! How does one find out about these
things? I had tried just
- \tweak extra-spacing-width #'(2 . 3)
which hadn't worked. Clearly I needed the extra space property of text.
Thanks again,
Alasdair

ttr = #(define-event-function (placement) (pair?)
#{
-\tweak TextScript.extra-spacing-width #'(1 . 5)
-\tweak extra-offset #placement
-\markup { \fontsize #4 \musicglyph #"scripts.rcomma" }

Hope that helps!

Needing space after a user-defined ornament
I'm typesetting some French baroque music, in which a sort of large breath
mark was used to indicate a particular type of trill. And the mark is
positioned close to the note, generally a little to the right and up.
What I've done is create a small function:
ttr = #(define-event-function (placement) (pair?)
#{
-\tweak extra-offset #placement
-\markup {\fontsize #4 \musicglyph #"scripts.rcomma"}
#} )
which can be used like this:
\relative c'' {
g8. ^\ttr #'(2.5 . -3.0) a16
}
The trouble is that Lilypond sometimes doesn't recognize this symbol as
needing space, so depending on the spacing of the notes, this symbol can
get very squashed. How can I add extra horizontal spacing to my function?
