Hey all,

I'm using 2.18.0, and I need to move the "8va" part of an ottava bracket to
the left to avoid a collision with a beam. I've tried several things, to no
avail: using \override Staff.OttavaBracket.X-offset has no effect as far as
I can tell; using \override Staff.OttavaBracket.shorten-pair gives me
control over the dashed line, but doesn't affect the "8va" text. I've
looked at the other properties in the internals reference, but I can't find
anything that looks promising. What do I have to override to make this
change?

Many thanks,
Nick
