Wow! That's awesome - i didn't realize LilyPond can do this, i thought
that the solution would have to be to duplicate the stencil and
translate it by an octave (as opposed to creating two stencils and
aligning them manually).
If i had more time, i'd write a post about this on Scores of Beauty...
LilyPond rocks!!
