I ended up creating my own solution to use in my code that generates
scores. Unfortunately it doesn't really translate into anything usable by
anyone else. Likewise I created my own staff switching method as well so
that rests would be printed in the other staff.

Still, I think the automatic ottava marking would be a good idea and maybe
even doable. Alas, I am not the one to do it, though.
