Re: Is it possible to insert a "break" in a ottava bracket?

[Robert Schmaus]

Right ... now that you mention it, your topic *was* "break in a ottava 
bracket", so careful reading could have told me too what you're after. 

So anyway, except for writing a music function that basically does the ottava 
voiding + spacer grace + ottava reset in one go, I don't have any other 
solution as well. 
If you can live without proper midi generation, you might just fake the ottava 
bracket with a text spanner. But let me be the first to call that a very poor 
approach ...

Best, Robert
