Re: Volta brackets on different heights

[Mats Bengtsson]

To quote an old answer I sent to the mailing list:

The trick is to increase the minimum-space property, which
determines the default minimum spacing between the bracket
and the stave. The default value is 5, so try something like
\override Score.VoltaBracket #'minimum-space = #7
