I'm editing a score where I would like to specify "8va".

If I write

\version "2.19.52"
{
  \ottava #1
  a b
}


lilypond creates a score with the text 8va---- but it also shifts the notes
one lower octave. So to avoid the shift I also had to specify a \transpose. I
have seen that the manual says this is what should happen but isn't this
strange? Sorry if the question is naif.

Thank you, g.
