Hi Harm,

For a _simple_ ottavation you don't need to add:

\ottava #1

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
delete it.

… but then the note doesn’t get engraved correctly?

(see attached screenshot)

Thanks,

Kieren.

 
You're right, my bad.

But the following works

#(define eightva
  #{
    \markup
      %% messing around with \with-dimensions, because OttavaBracket has no
      %% possibility to set details.stencil-align-dir-y
      %% :((
      \with-dimensions #'(0 . 4) #'(0 . 2.8)
      \italic \concat { "8" \raise #0.5 { \hspace #0.25 "va" } \hspace #0.5 }
  #})

{
  \once \override Staff.OttavaBracket.shorten-pair = #'(-10 . -10)
  %% nb, the order:
  \ottava #1
  \set Staff.ottavation = #eightva
  c''''1
}

Cheers,

  Harm
