Hi Harm,
You win the interwebs for today! =)
Although I’m only fractionally closer to understanding why certain Lilypond
things work or don’t (I understand now that overriding the stencil may cause
certain overrides to fail post-hoc; your comment "Not sure why a direct
'text-override does not work” further supports my “seemingly arbitrary”
frustration), my custom function (see snippet, below) works exactly as expected:
1. It follows Gould’s recommendation on alignment of text and line [where
Lilypond’s default does not];
2. It places the beginning and end of the OttavaBracket [and text] exactly
where I want it (personal preference); and,
3. It allows me to apply \overrides and \tweaks post-hoc (e.g., using the
edition-engraver), where necessary/desired.
Perfection! Thanks!!
Kieren.
