# The `octave` Package for Typesetting Musical Pitches with Octave Designations The `octave` package typesets musical pitch names with designations for the octave in either the Helmholtz system (letter name with subscript numeral for the octave, where middle C is `C4`), or the traditional system with upper- and lowercase letters and prime symbols, where middle C is `c'`. Using this package, authors can just write `\pitch{C}{4}` and then by calling a package option (`number` or `prime`), can render all the pitch names in either system. The system can also be changed mid-document. This material is subject to the current version of the LaTeX Project Public License. The author and maintainer is Andrew A.
