A cell fixing which octave a note belongs to.
Also known as: Octave sign braille, Music braille octave indicator
In braille music notation an octave mark placed before a note fixes which octave it is in, since the note cell itself gives only the note name.
Is written only where the octave is not predictable from the preceding note, which keeps the notation compact but means a reader must track it continuously.
Contexts: Music
A pattern of raised dots in one cell placed immediately before a note cell, one of a series of seven marking successive octaves.
