Thanks in advance
I can make the ottavation work perfectly - could you provide the
code that
fails, please?
As to style - if I were typesetting this, I
would not use all the implied
voice constructs << { } \\ {}
>>. I would set each voice as its own
variable and then
explicitly set the voicing and use \new Voice within a
staff - this way you
can have more control of whether you select voiceOne,
voiceTwo, voiceThree,
etc. But this is personal preference.

I retried this, but the \ottava now works. don’t know what happened
earlier, but spent quite some time
looking into the matter before deciding to use the clef. Now all seems
OK.
