It would have been handy if you had supplied a small example of what it is you tried exactly. The OttavaBracket lives at Staff level; you do not want more than one bracket per staff. You can find this out very easily, by entering: ottava in the search box on lilypond.org. Going to the first result, you read: OttavaBracket objects are created by: *Ottava_spanner_engraver* and clicking on Ottava_spanner_engraver tells you: Ottava_spanner_engraver is part of contexts: GregorianTranscriptionStaff, Staff, TabStaff and VaticanaStaff So, have you tried: \paper { raggedright = ##t} \score { \notes \relative c''' { a b c a #(set-octavation 1) a b c a #(set-octavation 0) a b c a \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'padding = #10 #(set-octavation 1) a b c a } } Jan. -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GNU LilyPond - The music typesetter http://www.xs4all.nl/~jantien | http://www.lilypond.org _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
