This is not really a predef, but for the past couple of weeks I've
been trying to implement an easier syntax for octavations, e.g.

\octava 1
or
\octava #1

instead of

#(set-octavation 1)

Such a command would be much more consistent with the rest of the
(non-Scheme) LilyPond syntax (not to mention much easier to type,
since typing the hash character on a French keyboard requires you to
twist your arm ;-)...

I couldn't come up with a patch, but I thought someone more skilled
than me could write it in a sec...

Cheers,
Valentin
