Re: Vertical placement of ottava line

Does anybody have more ideas for this (see below)? How can I move the beginning and end of OttavaBrackets horizontally, or rather change their alignment to the note head?

That doesn’t really combine well with the previous code of \myOttavaUp. At least, I can’t get it to work.

In other words :

Sorry, my bad. I got confused because I’m trying to mix it with altering the placement of “va”/“vb”.
Here is my whole code:

\version "2.19.13"

ottavaLineUp = {
\override Staff.OttavaBracket.stencil = #ly:line-spanner::print
\override Staff.OttavaBracket.bound-details = #`((left . ((Y . 0)
(stencil-align-dir-y . ,UP)))
(right . ((Y . 0)
(text . ,(make-draw-dashed-line-markup (cons 0 -1.2))))))
\override Staff.OttavaBracket.left-bound-info = #ly:line-spanner::calc-left-bound-info-and-text
\override Staff.OttavaBracket.right-bound-info = #ly:line-spanner::calc-right-bound-info
}

ottavaLineDown = {
\override Staff.OttavaBracket.stencil = #ly:line-spanner::print
\override Staff.OttavaBracket.bound-details = #`((left . ((Y . 0)
(stencil-align-dir-y . ,DOWN)))
(right . ((Y . 0)
(text . ,(make-draw-dashed-line-markup (cons 0 1.2))))))
\override Staff.OttavaBracket.left-bound-info = #ly:line-spanner::calc-left-bound-info-and-text
\override Staff.OttavaBracket.right-bound-info = #ly:line-spanner::calc-right-bound-info
}

#(define-markup-command (topAlign layout props arg)
(markup?)
(let* ((mol (interpret-markup layout props arg)))
(ly:stencil-aligned-to mol Y 1)))

ottavava = {
\ottavaLineUp
\ottava #1
\set Staff.ottavation = \markup \concat \bold \topAlign { "8" \tiny "va" }
}

ottavavb = {
\ottavaLineDown
\ottava #-1
\set Staff.ottavation = \markup \concat \bold { "8" \tiny "vb" }
}

\relative c'' {
c1
\ottava #1 c c
\ottava #-1 c c
\ottava #0 c
\ottava #1 c
\ottava #-1 c
\break
\ottava #0 c
\ottavava c c
\ottavavb c c
\ottava #0 c
\ottavava c
\ottavavb c
}

So, for that the problem with the 8 being center-aligned to the center of the notehead and it’s bad output for one-note ottavaBracket remains.
