I can make the ottavation work perfectly - could you provide the code that
fails, please?
As to style - if I were typesetting this, I would not use all the implied
voice constructs << { } \\ {} >>. I would set each voice as its own
variable and then explicitly set the voicing and use \new Voice within a
staff - this way you can have more control of whether you select voiceOne,
voiceTwo, voiceThree, etc. But this is personal preference.

I retried this, but the \ottava now works. don’t know what happened earlier,
but spent quite some time
looking into the matter before deciding to use the clef. Now all seems OK.
I will look further into the differences between <<{}\\{}>> and \new voice
Thanks, Erik
