+# 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.
