Dear list,

how can I adjust the bracket span length and 8va sign placement (horizontally) 
on a case by case basis?

I found the ottava bracket interface section in the manual but am not sure how 
to implement it:

Look here: 

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/internals/ottavabracket

You can use some of these for example:

 \override Score.OttavaBracket #'dash-fraction = #0.15

You probably want to play about with 'minimum-length'.

You can use this directly in your music and if you use a \once \override then 
you can use it on a case-by-case.

I hope this helps.
