I am using breath-marks in a piece. Unfortunately they are not always positioned very well (in my view) in the X direction.
Using something like "\override BreathingSign.X-offset = #1" simply doesn't work. Specifying the context in the override doesn't help. I don't understand why this doesn't work, but I can get the BreathingSign positioned where I want it using 'extra-offset', rather than 'X- offset'. However there is a further complication. I want these breath-marks to be parenthesized, so I have to specify 2 identical extra-offsets, one for the BreathingSign and one for the Parentheses. Using X-offset would be easier, because I only have to specify a single number, not a pair as for extra-offset. It would be better still if there were some way of getting the BreathingSign and the Parentheses to move with a single command specifying the X shift I want. Any suggestions? David Sumbler
