Re: ottava: remove dashed line

[Mats Bengtsson]

The general strategy is fairly well described in the LilyPond Learning 
Manual, especially in Sect. 4.3.1 "Visibility and color of objects", but 
also Sect. 4.1 and 4.2 are useful to get the basic concepts and to learn 
how to find out what "object" to modify.

Hmm, at second thought it wasn't that simple in this specific case, 
since if you use the standard ways to make an object invisible, than 
both the line and the "8va" will disappear. So, to find the answer you 
have to navigate yourself from the Notation Reference, section on Ottava 
to the Internal Reference for OttavaBracket and then click on 
line-interface to learn how to make the line invisible:

\override Staff.OttavaBracket #'dash-period = #-1
