The <octave-shift> element
Parent element: <direction-type>
The octave shift type indicates where notes are shifted up or down from their true pitched values because of printing difficulty. Thus a treble clef line noted with 8va will be indicated with an octave-shift down from the pitch data indicated in the notes. A size of 8 indicates one octave; a size of 15 indicates two octaves.
