Re: X-offset for breath marks

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Rachel,

The reason why offsetting the X-offset value does not work is because it is not 
used for placing Breathing marks. You can see from the output that the offset 
command fails, as no offset is calculated in the first place.

You can still use something like \tweak extra-offset #'(x-offset . 0) (which 
does not affect spacing) or if you want to add space while also affecting 
spacing \tweak extra-spacing-width #'(-left-space . Right-space)

Cheers,
Valentin
