This is a niche but handy workaround I discovered. Maybe others have already used it, but I haven’t seen it discussed before.
I wanted to transpose a passage up an octave without for playback without displaying it as such, and without an ottava line. So I input the notes up an octave, added an invisible clef at the start of the measure, set its octave shift to 1, and added another invisible clef to “reset” it.
The result here is that measure 2 looks the same, but it plays back an octave higher.
