Hi Eyolf,
Or one might turn the argument around and say that the melody is indeed
trans-posed -- placed somewhere else, whereas the negative associations
of dis- is that it's ended up in the wrong place...
Interesting point...
Really, what we're talking about is a NOTATIONAL SHORTHAND: the notes in
question aren't actually TRANSPOSED or DISPLACED, just like notes in a
"treble_8" clef are neither TRANSPOSED nor DISPLACED: they are simply
NOTATED using a different (shorthand) method.
I think you are mistaken here, a concert A written in any clef would sound
with f = 440Hz, whereas a written concert A with a 8va bracket would sound
with f = 880Hz. Anything sounding at a different interval than what is
notated is called transposition in orchestration books. I believe the
correct term, if there need be one, would be "octave transposition".
