Usually that 8 means "add the octave below" (because we're too lazy to print all those ledger lines, and an ottava marking would be confusing since it only affects the chords and not the running eighth notes). > the first bar in the image appears to require a span of 2 octaves.... No… the RH can take "voiceOne" in the lower staff. =) Hope this helps!
