As an exercise in learning to use LilyPond I’m engraving “The Entertainer” by 
Scott Joplin. In the old published version I’m working from (1902), the score 
looks like this at measure 22:

I’m concerned about the “Repeat 8va”, which I assume means that on the second 
repetition of this section it should be played an octave higher than the first 
time. Do you know how to make this happen in LilyPond? I can easily make the 
LilyPond output simply say “Repeat 8va”, but I’d really like LilyPond to know 
about the octave change, so the midi output of the second repetition is played 
in the correct octave.
