Re: Automatic ottava handling

[David Bellows]

I ended up creating my own solution to use in my code that generates scores. Unfortunately it doesn't really translate into anything usable by anyone else. Likewise I created my own staff switching method as well so that rests would be printed in the other staff.

Still, I think the automatic ottava marking would be a good idea and maybe even doable. Alas, I am not the one to do it, though.

You are talking about \autochange (see:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-keyboards#changing-staff-automatically
).

And indeed an automatic function to add ottava markings for every pitch
higher than a certain threshold (and ottava bassa lower than another defined
threshold) would be a fantastic addition to LilyPond.

Best,
