Yes, this is what ottava (8va) means: These notes should be played
(should sould) an octave higher than written. As you write the notes in
LilyPond as they sound, they are written lower, if ottava is set.

> 2.  How can I have the 8va printed on top of the chords?
I thought it was explained here, but this is only about items belonging
to the same staff:

If I find it, I will tell you.

Cheers,
