How does the musician know which of the voices the ottava bracket should apply to? In the current implementation, it seems that the ottaviation is handled internally exactly the same way as a clef change, which explains why it is handled
at the stave level. However, if there is an established notation
practice for separate octaviation on each voice, this could be
the topic of a feature request. You could of course work around
this easily, by using \transpose c c' {...} around the octaviated
section in the corresponding voice and adding the text and brackets
separately using text spanners.

There is no difference between 2.8 and 2.10 in this respect, as far as I know.

Quoting David Raleigh Arnold <address@hidden>:

I found (#set-octavation 1) to be useless in 2.8.7 because it's at staff
level instead of voice level.  Why?  In polyphony it nearly always has
to be at voice level, and if there is only one voice on the stave
it doesn't matter.  Is it better in 2.10?
