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.
