Hi Joram, Two things : 1) Ottava_spanner_engraver is part of the Staff context, see : http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/internals/ottava_005fspanner_005fengraver 2) for some reason LP spanners cannot reproduce dotted lines such as the one your looking for.
So here's a kind-of : { %% \override Staff.OttavaBracket.style = #'dotted-line % <= won't produce any real dotted line \override Staff.OttavaBracket.thickness = 1.5 \override Staff.OttavaBracket.dash-period = 0.6 \override Staff.OttavaBracket.dash-fraction = 0 \ottava 1 a''4^\markup { \override #'(thickness . 2) \override #'(off . 0.01) \draw-dotted-line #'(10 . 0) } a'' a'' a'' \ottava 0 } HTH, Pierre 2015-02-12 19:23 GMT+01:00 Noeck <noeck.marb...@gmx.de>: > Hi, > > I would like to change the ottava bracket style.
