The attached function will work with more complex music expressions.

The only problem here is with the handling of chords.  Right now, the function either ignores them or attempts to add the ottava within the EventChord _expression_ (which causes an error).  This shouldn't be too hard to fix, though it will take some thought.

Hope this proves useful!
