The opposite would have surprised me; if my repeats climbed an octave on
every iteration, it would make life difficult. I’d run out of buttons
on my concertina pretty quickly. (-:
Without delving into the internals, I have a very strong suspicion that
the notes are given their absolute pitch before the repeat is unfolded.
If you want to climb an octave with each iteration, you’ll need to
explicitly say so or write some kind of function.
