Re: Ottava printing at beginning of system

[Valentin Petzel]

Basically grob.after-line-breaking is a function that get’s called on grob 
after line breaks are determined and allows us to do tweaks related to line-
breaking. So what this function does is:

If the ottava bracket is broken we check if the grob is a broken part. This is 
done by getting all broken parts (the siblings) and checking if grob is the 
first of these (implying that it is the first part which we do not want to 
change) or not (in which case it is a broken part which we want to change).

Then we we remove the text from these broken properties and recalculate the 
stencil (which will then be without text).

Cheers,
Valentin
