The example showed \ottava changing the ottavation of staves by hand,
but the music moving between staves automatically with \autochange.

You or your algorithm must have some idea on which staff to place the
notes, before determining whether the staff needs an ottava change.

The general solution seems to be to apply whatever algorithm you use 
to choose ottavation after applying the \autochange routine
  \autoOctave \autoChange {...}
or maybe easier to merge them into one.
