This is in the bug tracker as http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4077 LilyPond has the facility to leave out the spanner line when the endpoints would lie within the "8va" text. We could make that the default behavior, unless anyone can think of a problem this might cause. Another easy option would be to, allow the spanner line to become very short. \override Staff.OttavaBracket.minimum-length = #0.05 This option looks good to me if we also shift the beginning of all '8va' texts left by a bit. \override Staff.OttavaBracket.shorten-pair = #'(-0.5 . -0.6) _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
