Thanks for all the help
yes it IS ugly, and wrong... again

I'm afraid your programme has trouble with basic notation principles.

well, if you care to take the time, normally, the octava symbol should appear intact, the first time you need it, and it should end at the last barline of each system (yours, for some reason, seems to fly off the page). At the beginning of every subsequant system affected by the octava line, there should be the word "8va" in brackets.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
