Octave Symbols

The octave symbols (8va and 15va) act as a “local display transpose” – they shift the display of the score one/two octaves down.

• By dragging the end of the dotted line, you can specify exactly which notes are affected by the octave symbol.

  Only notes beneath the dotted line are display transposed.

• You can also right-click on the octave symbol and select the “Extend (+)” or “Reduce (-)” command to extend it to the next chord or to reduce it.
