Roof pitch

[Andyk78]

Single storey extension from wall plate coming back to two courses under the upstairs window I have a 20 degree pitch, I was wanting to fit Marley double Romans which I understand is a min of 22.5. My question is can I go one course under the upstairs window instead to increase the pitch a little? And what would one brick give me back in degrees? Hope I'm making sense here, thanks in advance

Simplest and best way around this is to create a small inverted flat roof in front of the window covered in lead that way the pitch can be easily raised without obstructing the window

Thanks, I think I understand but can't visualise it.
Would the one brick option not give me back the required min pitch?
