I've come up with the solution below, which works quite well, but I'd like to get the volta text to appear inside the bracket, as it does when VoltaBracket #'direction is not altered. Is there a way to do this? I can't seem to find a separate layout object for the volta text.

Noone with an idea?

Well, looking at the stencil function in lily/volta-bracket.cc, it looks pretty simple to displace the number based on the direction of the bracket.  That way, you wouldn't have to accommodate broken volta brackets.

It looks like I'll have to update my LilyDev to compile anything, though.

Anyway, small point, but why not override 'stencil directly than go through 'after-line-breaking?
