Hello, So I know how to change the priority of the ottava such that it appears on the outside of other elements of the system. However, in my case, I simply want to increase the vertical space between the ottava in the other elements. How do I accomplish this? I have tried something like 

%%%%%%%

\version "2.19.82"

\offset Y-offset 20

\ottava #1

d2 d2 d2 d2

\ottava #0

d,2 d,2 d,2 d,2

%%%%%%%%%

Thank you for the help!

Ryan.

Hi Ryan,

You could adjust the offset values to taste...

%%%%%%%

\version "2.19.82"

{
 \override Staff.OttavaBracket.extra-offset = #'(0 . 2)
\ottava #1
d2 d2 d2 d2
\ottava #0
d,2 d,2 d,2 d,2

}
%%%%%%%%%

Does that get you started? :)
