Paolo,

 

Why not place the entire chord in the treble?

Hello Kieren,

 

unfortunately this method is trial and error as well. In fact, I can't use the same shorten-pair value if the stem is up or down, and (maybe) if the notehead has different sizes...

 

I think that the problem with the bracket I just described is a bug or a feature that should be enhanced...

Hi Paolo,

I think you’d want a callback that tweaks shorten-pair?

Look at <http://lilybin.com/vf4vaj/2> for an idea of what the final result might
be.

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
