Re: ottavation function

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Hi Simon, thanks for the improvements, I knew my function was utterly
inefficient but I have a hard time with Scheme. Just two things about this
all:

Which modifications to your function should I do if I want to have only a
"8" text, without the "va"? Maybe we could create a \ottavation-no-text for
that.

Second thing, try this code:

\relative c'' {
  R1*7
  \ottavation #1 c8 \ottavation #0 d, d d d d d d
}

It will output only "8va" without the vertical line. I believe that,
according to Gould, we always need to have the vertical "hook" in the end of
an 8va, so probably we need something analogous to \textLengthOn here. I
don't have her book right now with me but I can check this information on my
library next week.

Thanks and take care,
Gilberto
