Re: Bow lift/Breath mark placement

[Shane Brandes]

 \override BreathingSign #'text
       = #(make-musicglyph-markup "x")  where x is the glyph you want to use.

\override BreathingSign #'extra-offset = #'(0.0 . 2.0) adjust x y values as necessary

Hi, I'm a newbie at Lilypond. How can I get a bow lift/breath mark placement above the staff, a la [1], instead of crossing the top line [2]?

(I also like the more pronounced comma look of [1], but that matters less.)
