Hi Jean; Thanks for the tip.
I'm using Lilypond 2.22.1. I now have the attava bracket beneath the notes using " \override Staff.OttavaBracket.direction = #DOWN" BTW, I'm looking at the NR for 2.22.1 and I see "ottava #X" where, apparently the "#" is no longer needed. Is it possible that this is the old notation prior to 2.22.1 (like 2.18?) that did not get updated or is the "#" just optional now?
