Mats Many thanks - this works perfectly!
Could I have discovered this for myself from the documentation? space-alist is not mentioned in the 2.10 User Manual, and although space-alist is shown as one of the standard settings for BreathingSign in the Program Reference the list shown there mentions neither next-note nor fixed-space. OTOH it _does_ say BreathingSign supports the grob-interface, which says that X-offset is user-settable, yet it is not. Or am I misunderstanding something?
