Hello Rachel, The reason why offsetting the X-offset value does not work is because it is not used for placing Breathing marks. You can see from the output that the offset command fails, as no offset is calculated in the first place.
You can still use something like \tweak extra-offset #' (x-offset . 0) (which does not affect spacing) or if you want to add space while also affecting spacing \tweak extra-spacing-width #' (-left-space . Right-space) Cheers, Valentin Am Donnerstag, 20. Jänner 2022, 21:04:09 CET schrieb Rachel Green: > Hi, > > I am trying to adjust the placement of the first breath mark in this > excerpt.
