Ah, I get it now. Thanks, Mats. The problem is that the basic explanation
of \octave morphs into a discussion of the specific example in the same
sentence. I've split them into separate paragraphs and added more text
in CVS.

Since you haven't received any answer yet, I dare give it a try
even though Graham wants to save my time. I think what's mainly
missing in the text is a "in the example below", i.e. the first
and second checks refer to the specific example given.

Hi guys, your friendly Doc Editor here again. Can somebody other than Han, Jan,
or Mats answer this? (not that I have anything against you guys; I just don't want
to bother you with this and get more people involved in writing the manual. :)
Could somebody explain this part of the manual?
--- (from 5.2.2, Octave check)
There is also a syntax that is separate from the notes. The syntax
\octave pitch
This checks that pitch (without quotes) yields pitch (with quotes) in \relative mode. If not, a warning is printed, and the octave is corrected, for example, the first check is passed successfully. The second check fails with an error message. The octave is adjusted so the following notes are in the correct octave once again.
\relative c' {
e
\octave a'
\octave b'
}

Specifically, what's the "first check", "second check" business? I don't use
\octave, and I can't understand the second paragraph, so I'm hoping
somebody can clarify this.
Cheers,
