That's easy. It only applies to the voices that are marked. If you have 3 parts on one staff, you are not going to use octaviation on all 3 parts anyway. I have a specific piece in mind to octaviate 2 parts on one staff with the 3rd part unchanged. I intend to mark each affected note in the bass with an 8. I don't know of a published example, but this is an arrangement of an old piece. It really sounds good, and it is not difficult. > (how would you notate it > if it only applied to the lower voice for some weird reason)? Put it below. It would be almost essential if the harmonics were alternately top and bottom, then together, then none, etc., and any example of 2-3 voices is certain to be that way. daveA -- It's not that hard to understand the lesson of Viet Nam. Never never never never defend one tyrant against another, because The worst thing that can happen is you might win. The *Gulf* war was worse than Nam. D.
