Just the one chord. I'll try that unless anyone else here comes up with a better suggestion. I was really asking whether there's an accepted way of doing it.
>> > Is there an accepted way of notating an ottava sign for only part of a staff? I have a two-handed chord of which the LH part needs to be an octave lower than notated, but the RH part is at pitch.
>> > I realise that this isn't really a LilyPond question but a general music engraving one (it may turn into a LilPond question depending on the answer, though)..
>> Do you have “Behind Bars” by Elaine Gould? It’s kind of the definitive starting place for all such questions — and an essential (I believe) addition to any engraver’s library.
>> Hope that helps!
>> Kieren.
