Re: Automatic ottava handling

Nicely done! I really like the greater flexibility achieved based on using ledger lines. Fortunately in this project I don't use chords so that's not a problem, less fortunately is that I need it for the bassa as well. But I will look over the code and see if I can't figure it out for myself.

Thanks!

The attached function will work with more complex music expressions.

The only problem here is with the handling of chords.  Right now, the function either ignores them or attempts to add the ottava within the EventChord _expression_ (which causes an error).  This shouldn't be too hard to fix, though it will take some thought.

Hope this proves useful!
