Fermatas added to wrong side of text lines: should be on the staff side

What reference are you consulting to suggest this is wrong? Our read of the literature suggests this is exactly how it should be, which is why it was designed to work this way.

Those appear to me to be voltas, not other types of lines. We do place fermatas under voltas and octave signs, but over all other markings, just as Gould recommends. The only case we don't get right according to the rules she lays out are fermatas within slurs, where she recommends outside the slur on the endpoints, inside within, and we do outside always.

So again, if you see a specific recommendation to the contrary, feel free to post it, but the mere fact that some particular older edition may have used house rules not in accordance with the modern standards is not good reason to change the defaults.

If those are not in fact voltas, but some other type of line, that would be worthy of further investigation as to the best way to handle it. But please, until we come to a definitive consensus, please leave the status of this as "needs info".

Thanks, these are good examples. We could use more examples of other types of lines from other contexts to see what makes the most sense. In theory it should be possible to change this, we could identify some lines types to move later in the process while leaving others where they are.
