Thanks, Keith. I'll refer to that page as I continue to move my engraving from 2.16 toward 2.18. > the "Previously" image links to sample input showing how to > get the old behavior. Also noted, thanks again. Here's why I was tweaking voltas to begin with.... It's a rather small issue, but as Lilypond continues to become a better and better engraving tool that makes better and better default choices, it seems like only small issues are left, that I encounter. The first score in the attached example is untweaked Lilypond output. The first volta bracket is much farther above the chords than is the second, due in part to the fact that the second brackets starts slightly farther left, relative to where the first one does. Still, the second bracket is very snug to the chordnames staff. I appreciate this "vertical frugality" because I'm often/always trying to keep things to one or two pages. Notice also that the first bracket is closer to the staff above it than the second bracket is. The second score shows tweaked output which also isn't perfect (not that I would recognize perfect!), but which I believe would be more ideal default behaviour, insofar as the relative spacing of the first and second volta brackets is more comparable, both with regard to the chordnames staff below each bracket, and the preceding staff above each bracket.
