Your idea
  • The functions "repeat 8va", "repeat 15va, etc.
  • The ability to make it so some bars are completely invisible (they just appear out of existence) but remain untouched in playback

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by separating the requested octave-repeat notation from the request to hide bars during playback, then inspect how existing notation repeats and visual visibility are handled. Done requires an agreed scope for both behaviors and clear acceptance criteria; the issue has had no recent discussion.
