16 Octave statements are used to mark notes that are to be played one or more
17 octaves higher or lower than written. An
"octave above
" statement is
18 used to specify playing higher than written, or
"octave below
" for playing
19 lower than written. Each item must include a begintime
20 and a text string. The text string is most typically
"8va
".
21 It will always be printed in
12-point times italics font. If the octave
22 shifting applies to more than a single chord, there should also be a
23 duration specified, reaching to include the last affected note. In this
24 case, Mup will draw a dashed line to mark the span affected. Note that
25 specifying the exact beat of a chord indicates the horizontal center of the
26 chord, so if you want the dashed line to reach a bit past the note, it
27 will be necessary to specify a duration slightly beyond the point of
28 the last chord to be included. Examples:
33 octave above
1:
2 "8va
" til
1m +
1.3;
38 octave below
2:
1 "8va
";
39 octave below
3:
1 "8va
" til
2.5;
3 "15" til
4.5;
