Knute:

 

I placed \acciaccatura s8 before the r4 and the 8va shortened. Perhaps this 
does what you want.

Subject: Ottava spanner too long just before a grace note

 

I have a piece of music that all finished except that I have a problem with the 
ottava spanner for low a in the bass.  It seems to want to span the grace note 
that's in the next measure, I assume because the grace note is realized by 
backing up from the beat it's on.  My example file isn't "tiny", but it's not 
huge either.  I don't know if people prefer inline files or attachments when 
they are big, so I attached the file.

 

I've tried several things to make make the spanner smaller, but I can't seem to 
do it without messing other things up.  There's a lot happening in that 
measure, including a tied cross-staff chord.  There may be a better solution 
for that that will make the ottava problem easier to solve.

 

The last measure in the example is how the first measure should look.

 

TIA
