I believe I have demonstrated not only that \offset Y-offset is working 
properly but how it can be used in conjunction with other properties to 
effectively move an OttavaBracket upwards in the manner of the original 
request.  Thus far, I have been unable to confirm behavior justifying 
the claim to the contrary and would require verifiable evidence to 
consider it further.

Please take as much time as you need to review the code snippets I 
included, especially the last one that makes use of \offset Y-offset.  
There was a lot for me to comment on, and I may have accidentally left 
out important information trying to keep the email from getting any 
longer.  Do let me know if you need any additional detail or 
clarification of what is going on in the snippets.
