Re: Ottava printing at beginning of system

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Molly,

Try the appended method using after line breaking (slight modification from 
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/extending/difficult-tweaks). As 
of now OttavaBracket has no property for continuation text.

Cheers,
Valentin
