what is the recommended/default formatting for ottava marks/brackets (8va)?
In bold or not bold? And with dashed lines or dotted or others?
What does E. Gould say ...
Page 28:
The octave sign is written in italic, the numeral '8' is 1 1/2
stave-paces high. The optional 'va' is placed flush with the top of
_ottava sopra_ (_8^va_), flush with the base of _ottava bassa_ (_8va_).
Indicate the extent of the transposition with a line of dashes
(hereafter called a dotted line). The line extends from the top
edge of the _8_ for _8 sopra_ and the base of the _8_ for _8 bassa_,
and runs parallel to the stave.
And those 8s look bold to me.
