Yes, definitely a bad idea. Use 8va. .... brackets instead when you want to
send everything up an octave like that. It was fine for _you_ because you wrote

for anyone else who had to read it, at least at initial glance.
Anyway, _most_ of the time you shouldn't need to do any such octave shifts --
it's only at the very extreme upper end of the instrumental register (and
sometimes lower, e.g. on piano) that you would bother.
All of this (and what follows) seems rather aggressive and blunt on a second
reading -- wasn't meant to be. Apologies. :-\
