Hi,

I’m interested in making the right endpoints of ottava brackets and trill spanners coincide.

Any solutions?

(Definitely not looking for a numeric hack to shorten-pair.)

Hi Trevor,

Just curious - but why are you not considering a shorten pair fix?
It seems to work fine here with just one line of code. Does that help at all in this instance or would that mess something up in your score elsewhere?

(see attached)

=======
\version "2.19.65"                                                             

\new Staff {
 
  \once \override Staff.OttavaBracket.shorten-pair = #'(-1 . -20.)

   \ottava #1                                                                 
    c''4 \startTrillSpan                                                       
    d''                                                                        
    e''                                                                        
    f''                                                                        
    \ottava #0                                                                 
    \break                                                                     

    c'4 \stopTrillSpan                                                         
    d'                                                                         
    e'                                                                         
    f'                                                                         
}

Hi Ben,

Because the minute the layout changes the alignment breaks!

I'm looking for a *semantic* way of aligning the two objects (so they stay matched as layout changes).
