I think the normal use would be to call all of them oktaavamerkki, and say then something about "one octave down" or something like that. I mean, 8va obviously is an abbreviation, and 8vb even more, since the b means an own word (bassa). so yes, let's just have it oktaavamerkki (I actually would prefer -merkintä, since it applies to a longer section and consists also of the dottet line). till > > > Greetings from Rovaniemi > > The same from Oulu. > > -Risto -- GMX startet ShortView.de.
