I'm more than happy to let you use the "auto-ottava" code for your project. By posting it on this forum I make it available to anybody who sees utility in it. My concern (and consequent hesitation in answering) is simply that, should I or someone else decide incorporate it in the LilyPond code base in the future, there would be no complication. You mention that your software is Affero GPL. Would this conflict in any way with LilyPond's license? Best, David
