Hi all, is it really true that the text of the OttavaBracket can't be customized? All I could find was the doc snippet http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/snippets/text#text-ottava-text which suggests to manually set Staff.ottavation after the \ottava command.
With this I created a function (overwriting the built-in function) #(define ottava (let ((orig-ottava ottava) (numbers '("15" "8" "" "8" "15"))) (define-music-function (oct)(integer?) #{ #(orig-ottava oct) #(if (not (= oct 0)) #{ \set Staff.ottavation = #(list-ref numbers (+ oct 2)) #}) #}))) which actually does what I want (change "8va" to "8"), but I can't believe that it is really necessary to go that long way for a seemingly simple task. Any comments?
