Comment #1 on issue 3223 by address@hidden: Document known issue with  
Ottava bracket in one voice

Nick sent in a documentation suggestion here:

as follows:

Is the suggested text and example below clear or not? I grabbed the example  
notes from a question on the lilypond user list a couple of years ago,  
which seemed to demonstrate more clearly than anything else the problem and  
how to solve it:  
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.general/61276. I guess  
that any work done on issue 1473 would affect this as well.

This is for a "Known issues and warnings" paragraph to be placed at the end  
of the subsection on ottava brackets in NR 1.1.3 Displaying Pitches.

"If you have more than one voice on the staff, setting ottavation in any  
voice will transpose the position of notes in all voices for the duration  
of the ottava bracket. If the ottavation is only intended to apply to that  
one voice, you can set the middleCPosition in the other voice(s) to stop  
them being transposed. For instance, in this example, set  
Voice.middleCPosition in the upper voice for the duration of the ottava  
bracket in the lower voice in order to prevent the tied chord in the upper  
voice from appearing an octave higher than it should. Note that the value  
you need to assign to middleCPosition will vary depending on the both the  
ottavation and clef being used.

\relative c {
  \clef bass
  <<
    {
      <fis cis' g'>1~
      \set Voice.middleCPosition = #6
      <fis cis' g'>4
      \unset Voice.middleCPosition
    }
    \\
    { r2. \ottava #-1 <b,,,~ bes'^~>4 <b bes'>4 \ottava #0 }
  >>
}
