To play/sing something an octave higher or lower is called "oktavieren" (the verb), the noun is "Oktavierung".

At least the English wikipedia page does not give a proper term for it, either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave#Notation http://dict.leo.org/forum/viewUnsolvedquery.php?idThread=106516&idForum=1&lp=ende&lang=de Cheers, Reinhold - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reinhold Kainhofer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/ * Financial and Actuarial Mathematics, TU Wien, http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/ * K Desktop Environment, http://www.kde.org, KOrganizer maintainer * Chorvereinigung "Jung-Wien", http://www.jung-wien.at/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHt1ImTqjEwhXvPN0RAoIxAJ9lg70Xuf0r19yFuMYG/qyhTqbfMwCeOubL x340xpNxG41dYAevFk/Vmag= =ptz6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
