I’ve had that too, but it gets better :-)

Simply comment out (i.e. prefix with a ‘;’) the line
‘#:raise (if upward? 0.6 0) text’
(should be line 22).
Or use the attached version, where you can adjust the 
‘display-ottavation-suffix’ variable at the beginning.

That has been extensively discussed already; I think there is a tracker 
issue also. Personally, I disagree with Gould here.
Anyway, it is only marginally related.
