Is there a way to position (or to adjust the position of) the volta
brackets manually?  With the following example:

\relative c'' {
  \repeat volta 3 { d4 d d d }
  \alternative { { c4 d e f } { e4 f g a } }
}

the volta brackets are raised, because of the final "a" note, but it
could have fit under the volta bracket at the "normal" position,
since it does not clash with the "3." indication.

I tried

\layout { \context { \Staff \override VoltaBracketSpanner #'Y-offset
= #N } }

with various values for N, without success.

Using what version of LilyPond?  With 2.17.12 I see something like the
following (which looks reasonable):


Still 2.14.2...


With 2.16, this looks less pretty.


But I see that 2.16.2 would not help...

By the way, the question was: how is it possible to adjust the position
by hand (independently of the default position)?

You can use extra-offset. eg:

\once \override Score.VoltaBracket #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -1.5)

will lower the following bracket by 1.5 staff units.
