So I handle many spanning objects this way (quite uniformly and extensibly). Now suddenly I realised that the ottava line should be handled differently. If I merely use (#set-octavation ...) for the start and end of the line, I will also need to transpose the notes (as Sibelius reports the pitches of the notes as they are written, i.e. not taking ottava into account) -- but in Pass 1 I have already converted the notes into text!!! I don't want another pass just for the octavation. So I would have to redesign my plug-in slightly to handle octavation properly! At present, I thought, an emulation of ottava-line might work. Hence my question.
check out the ottavation property, which will produce the line without altering notes. Still, I think you should produce the real pitches, and not the ones which are written. It makes post-editing the .ly files easier.
