Hi Michael,

I tried to tweak what you sent - I need it in the opposite way, moving the sign to the left - in the internal reference it might be "direction"?
But I have no clue how to use it.

Hi Joei.

Checking the Internals Reference ( http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/internals/breathingsign ) there's an alist for the BreathingSign that contains spacing. Looks like the next-note one is what you might be looking for. I gave it a whirl here with these results:

music = \relative c'' {
  c c \breathe c c \break
  c c \once \override BreathingSign.space-alist = #'((next-note fixed-space . -3)
 (right-edge extra-space . 0.1)) \breathe c c
}

producing:

Is that kinda what you were looking to do?

For some reason Lilypond complained if I left out the right-edge entry. Quite honestly I don't understand this well enough to know why, but it does work. Or, at least, it seems to. I fiddled a bit with various values for the right-edge with no apparent effect. But from what I can tell that one only applies when the breathe mark is at the very end of a line. Since that isn't the case here I didn't really think it would do anything, but I tried it anyway. Just don't quite get why Lilypond throws a programming error if it gets left out. So hopefully this might at least point you in a direction that might help.

    Hi Group,

    how do I move a breath mark horizontally?
    I've tried

    "\override Voice.BreathingSign.x-offset = #-3 \breathe"

    But it didn't work...

    Best regards
