RE: Collision between ottava bracket and stems in cross-staff systems

between ottava bracket and stems in cross-staff systems Hello Kieren, unfortunately this method is trial and error as well. In fact, I can't use the same shorten-pair value if the stem is up or down, and (maybe) if the notehead has different sizes... I think that the problem

Re: Collision between ottava bracket and stems in cross-staff systems

Hi Paolo, > unfortunately this method is trial and error as well. Not if it’s a callback function. ;) You need to write code that determines how much to shorten/extend (by referencing the width of noteheads, etc.), and automatically applies the tweak. That’s how you make it not

Collision between ottava bracket and stems in cross-staff systems

Hello, in cross-staff systems, I see that the ottava bracket can produce an unwanted collision between the "8va" string and the stems. Please, look at: http://lilybin.com/vf4vaj/1 Is there a way to automatically avoid that, without using the trial-and-error method for adjusting the offset of
