Hi Paolo, > How can your solution can be applied to the above examples? See for a possible start. There’s obviously a better solution than the extra-offset I used, but I can’t currently seem to find a way to force the pedal below the PianoStaff (e.g., with a

Re: Collision between ottava bracket and stems in cross-staff systems

Hi Paolo, > unfortunately this method is trial and error as well. Not if it’s a callback function. ;) You need to write code that determines how much to shorten/extend (by referencing the width of noteheads, etc.), and automatically applies the tweak. That’s how you make it not
