Re: Offset ClefTransposition number

[Dimitris Marinakis]

Thanks, 

No comment on the documentation.  The fault is on me because I only looked at the internals of the Clef and not the Clef Modifier which was literally the next chapter.

It's one of those things I rarely use so I hadn't looked thoroughly at those specific chapters.

Oh, and actually, that section is pretty explicit:

"""
Known issues and warnings

Ottavation numbers attached to clefs are treated as separate grobs.
So any \override done to the Clef will also need to be applied, as
a separate \override, to the ClefModifier grob.

[example]
"""

To be clear, I absolutely don't want to blame anyone asking on the
lists: yes, there is a lot of material in the docs, and it's not
always easy to find your way. I am also the first person to ask
how to improve the docs. In this case, though, I think the documentation
is about as good as you can get ...
