Hi Jean;
Thanks for the tip.
I'm using Lilypond 2.22.1.
I now have the attava bracket beneath the notes using " \override
Staff.OttavaBracket.direction = #DOWN"
BTW, I'm looking at the NR for 2.22.1 and I see "ottava #X" where,
apparently the "#" is no longer needed.
Is it possible that this is the old notation prior to 2.22.1 (like
2.18?) that did not get updated or is the "#" just optional now?
Thanks,
Ken
