How to mark notes to be played one octav upper (alta ottava)

Is it possible at all?

I don't know the right english word for this 8-------
or 8va-------

Thanks

In NWC, you can do this is via the Octave Shift option on the Clef.

And if you want to just play a limited range of notes higher, you can insert the clef, then hide it and put the 8va------- text above the notes.

Eli jos haluat määrätä vain muutaman nuotin soitettavaksi korkeammalta, lisää avain, piilota se ja lisää sitten 8va-teksti nuottien yläpuolelle. (Oli ihan pakko vastata suomeksikin.)

The octave clefs will make it sound right, but players may not notice them, so it's best to also put the "8va" and "loco" signs in.

Plus, hidden clefs are not printed at the beginning of each line. Which makes the beginning "empty"...
