It is easy to illustrate this difficulty and solution in the LSR entry that goes in the manual section on ottavas. I just amended it with "Short text is especially useful to clarify when a brief ottava starts to apply." It seems wise to let ottava spanners get very short, \override Staff.OttavaBracket.minimum-length = #0.05 or disappear \override Staff.OttavaBracket.minimum-length = #'() _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
