Re: add vertical space to ottava

I always reserve extra-offset for the very last resort, because it doesn’t 
interact with the spacing algorithms (i.e., it moves grobs after all the 
automagic spacing is already done). In this case, one way to do that would be 
to use

 \override Staff.OttavaBracket.staff-padding = #3

instead of the extra-offset tweak suggested above.

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
