You’re right, I only tested it with the default \ottava function, and 
that works.
0.3 is the default value for minimum-length, so you don’t need to 
uncomment that line for testing.
Hm, I can’t tell why it doesn’t work properly with the overrides from 
our custom function… The line at the right end is printed with the 
spacing-rods override, but minimum-length remains without effect. Can 
anyone help out with that?
