When using clef=bass in a V: or K: field, and use abcm2ps for typesetting,
notes are automatically transposed 2 octaves down. I think abc2ps also
does this. This reduces the number of commas needed to notate low notes.
That's nice but I don't read anything about this in the abc2-draft
document. Yaps for example does not behave like this. When using yaps you
can use

I:clef=bass octave=-2

to accomplish the same effect.

Is there any concensus about what should be the notation standard for
notes in the bass key? The abc2-draft doc only describes notation in the
treble key.
