Thanks, Pierre, that is quite good already, but there is an issue with octavation spanning only one note. See this:

 

[...]

How can I tweak that?

Hum, well, I don't know right now.

Here's what you can do for the moment, not elegant but does the job :

\version "2.19.13"

\relative c'' {
  c1
  \ottava #1
  \set Staff.ottavation =
           \markup\column { \vspace #.5 \italic "8va" }
  c c
  \ottava #-1
  \set Staff.ottavation =
           \markup\column { \italic "8va" \vspace #.5 }
  c c
  \ottava #0
  c
  \ottava #1
  \set Staff.ottavation =
           \markup\column { \vspace #.5 \italic "8va" }
  c
  \ottava #-1
  \set Staff.ottavation =
           \markup\column { \italic "8va" \vspace #.5 }
  c
}

I'll think about the previous code,

Cheers,
Pierre
