Re: Ottava printing at beginning of system

[Molly Preston]

That worked! Thank you so much! I've used lilypond for a long time but have never had to use any super advanced tweaks. So all the scheme code is confusing to me, but maybe I should learn more about it.

Thank you so much Valentin!

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
