Bravo Jay!! It works flawlessly!! The commas and single quotes work
perfectly in the \relative blocks and the cautionary accidentals also
work properly now. Thanks so much for your persistence on this as I
don't have the programming wherewithal to do it myself. This is an
*awesome* tool. T
> Let me know how it works!
A couple more changes:
#(define (octave-up m t)
(let* ((octave (1- t))
(new-note (ly:music-deep-copy m))
(new-pitch (ly:make-pitch
octave
(ly:pitch-notename (ly:music-property m 'pitch))
(ly:pitch-alteration (ly:music-pro
Use the following for the octave-up function. It should also now work
correctly in \relative sections (but not outside unfortunately).
#(define (octave-up m t)
(let* ((octave (if (> t 0) 0 -2))
(new-note (ly:music-deep-copy m))
(new-pitch (ly:make-pitch
octave
Hey guys,
Just discovered another issue with the octaves command and wondered
whether you could see an easy way out of it. When I use a cautionary
accidental inside one of these octaves blocks, it only prints the
accidental on the lower note of the 8ve pair. Any way to get it to show
the ac

Got it. Thanks Valentin. It's working for me exactly as you describe,
with the unfortunate \relative trouble. I'd try to fix it myself but I
can't make heads nor tails of that code. Much to learn...
Still, thanks both to you and Jay for the code. Even with the \relative
bug it'll still sa

Ok, so if I wanted to have both options available, how would I do the
scheme code to define, say, "octavesUp = " and "octavesDown = ". I see
from Valentin's tip how to change it so that \octaves will be either up
down, but it would be great to be able to do both. Either that, or for
the \rela
Hi Jonathan, hi Jay,
Jonathan: you need to add notes an octave lower than your voice: just
replace 1+ with 1- in the Scheme code.
Jay: actually, your code has one major downside: is doesn't handle
\relative mode very well. As soon as you add a comma or a single quote
to one of the pitches in the
Wow! I just got around to trying this also. What a great tool, and
perfect for a piece I'm working on right now. Many thanks, Jay! I've
saved this code in my personal collection of snippets but I agree it'd
be a great addition to the LSR. Wish I understood how to write these
kinds of things

Hi Jay,
Sorry for not having reacted earlier but this function is simply
awesome! Could you please consider adding it to the LSR?
If I may suggest a minor improvement, it would

This doesn't quite work for everywhere I want to use it.
I want to be able to keep the music inline with the other non-octave music
section. So

Possibly:
bassnotes = { c16 d e f g c bes a g es fis a g es r8 }
\new Voice <<
\clef bass
\relative c,, \bassnotes
I found myself writing long sections like these in some piano parts:
{ }
I wrote a function to add the upper octave for me:
\octaves {c d e f}
I though that I'd share:
#(define (octave-up noteevent)
(let* ((pitch (ly:music-property noteevent 'pitch))
(octave (ly:pitch-octave pitch))
