Hi list,

I have a question about the placements of breathe symbols.

When measure bars are placed automatically, and when a \breathe is placed at the end of a measure, it seems that it is placed *after* the bar, before the first note of the next measure. I would like them to be placed after the last note of the measure to which they belong. I know that it is possible to tweak their position with

\context { \Staff \override BreathingSign #'extra-offset = #'(-1.0 . 0.0) }

for example, but this does not really solve the problem, because the breathe symbols that are correctly positioned by default (in the middle of a measure) would also be affected by this setting.

I also tried to force the breathe symbol to be placed before the bar by putting an explicit \bar "|" or \bar "" indication in the source file, but LilyPond then puts it in an otherwise empty measure.

In short: is there a way to force LilyPond to put breathe symbols always after the previous note, i.e. as close as possible to that note?

Thank you in advance!
