Re: Breathing mark and caesura

Hi Andrew,

1. I haven't investigated, but \breathe must (e.g.) be attached to a <> or 
something, so that it has "its own moment".

2. Whenever I find an override that doesn't work, I try repositioning — 95% of 
the time, that fixes the problem.

> why can't one use \once for the override?

One can… if one positions it correctly. ;)

\version "2.21.2"
{
  c''4 \breathe c''
  c''
  \once \override BreathingSign.text = \markup {
    \musicglyph "scripts.caesura.straight"
  }
  \breathe
  c''
  \breathe
}

Cheers,
Kieren.
