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


I did look at your previous post (and spotted the mis-spelling) and 
concluded that there simply wasn't space for lily to fit everything in.  Why 
would you want an ottava on one note, then lose it, then have it again, then 
lose it again?  Surely it's easier for the performer to simply have ledger 
lines?

In my opinion it won't always be better to have many ledger lines, try this:

\relative a' {
a b'
b' c'
a, b'
b' c'
}
