Yes, that's what I want. This doesn't mean that I intend to have lots of
music that overlaps the brackets, but rather that if I see overlaps, I can tweak
the position globally, and be sure to get a consistent layout without Lilypond
moving things behind my back.

It also means that I can have music that is actually inside the volta brackets.
As of now the brackets seems to be pushed up as soon as music gets near the
bracket bounding box.

OK, I may look into this too.
