Ottava horizontal shift

[Shane Brandes]

Hello all,

  This is another perplexing thing. I am trying to figure out how to
shift the ottava indications directly over their corresponding chords.
There does not seem to be an obvious solution. So here is the miminmal
example. The end result should have 8va loco. 8va. loco. read in a
single line.

Shane

version "2.13.0"
\relative{
 \once \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'dash-period = #0  \ottava #1
\barNumberCheck #190 \autoBeamOff
   <c' f c'>8  \ottava #0 <c, f c'>8 ^"loco." \once \override
Staff.OttavaBracket #'dash-period = #0 \ottava #1 <c' f c'>8
   \ottava #0 <c, f c'>8 ^"loco."  }


I made a viable solution, but it does not resolve the issue of the 8va
not being centered over the note of origin.

\version "2.13.0"

\relative{ \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'dash-period = #1  \ottava
#1 | \barNumberCheck #190 \autoBeamOff \set
Score.proportionalNotationDuration  = #(ly:make-moment 1 25)
    <c' f c'>8  \ottava #0 \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset =
#'(-2.5 . -2.1) <c, f c'>8 ^"loco."  \ottava #1 <c' f c'>8
    \ottava #0 <c, f c'>8 ^"loco."
    \ottava #1

  }


p.s. misspelling shift is occasionally dangerous
