Re: Customizing ottava text

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Urs,

> is it really true that the text of the OttavaBracket can't be customized?

\version "2.19.48"
\language "english"

ottTest =
\once \override Staff.OttavaBracket.before-line-breaking =
    #(lambda (grob) (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text "testing"))

{ \ottTest \ottava #1 c'' }
