RE: \breathe X-offset

[Trevor Daniels]

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?
