Re: How to double in octaves

[Mats Bengtsson]

As long as the music belongs to the same Voice context,
the stems should be joined. Try (untested):
    \notes < \context Voice=bassline \transpose c' { \bassline }
             \context Voice=bassline \transpose c  { \bassline } >
  }

You may have to add a \stemUp or \stemDown, since the default
direction may be different in the two octaves.
