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.
