Hi Paolo,

> unfortunately this method is trial and error as well.

Not if it’s a callback function.  ;)  You need to write code that determines how
much to shorten/extend (by referencing the width of noteheads, etc.), and
automatically applies the tweak. That’s how you make it not trial-and-error.

That being said, if the 8va moves too far to the left, it would imply that
earlier moments should be ottavated, so… Good luck!  =)

Best,
Kieren.
